Introduced Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

This act requires certain special government employees to comply with federal financial disclosure requirements if they own, control, or serve as chief executive of a company that has a contract with the federal government. These special government employees must submit their financial disclosure reports to the Director of the Office of Government Ethics for review and certification. Until their initial financial disclosure report is certified as compliant by the Office of Government Ethics, the special government employee is prohibited from carrying out any official duties related to federal employment. The act extends existing financial disclosure obligations that apply to other federal officers and employees to this specific category of special government employees.
