Key Points
- Requires clearer paperwork when someone is labeled a “special government employee,” to reduce loopholes and confusion.
- Tightens conflict-of-interest rules for certain special government employees, so smaller parts of a government matter can still count as a conflict.
- Makes some ethics waivers public within 14 days in an online, searchable database for certain special government employees.
- Limits certain special government employees from contacting agencies about issues involving a large company they own or help run.
- Creates a public online database listing covered special government employees, their service days, and why they weren’t hired as regular employees.
