DHS Rural and Remote Hiring and Retention Strategy Act of 2022

This bill requires the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to issue a strategy and implementation plan to improve the hiring and retention of individuals by ICE and CBP in rural or remote areas.

DHS must periodically report to Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on the extent that the strategy and implementation plan has improved hiring and retention. After receiving each DHS report, the GAO must submit to Congress an assessment of the effectiveness of the actions described in the DHS report.
