This bill, the Dual Hatting Limitation Act of 2026, restricts senior officials and acting officials within several key federal agencies from simultaneously holding other positions within the government. Specifically, it limits the ability of the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, the Special Counsel, the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, the Archivist of the United States, and individuals holding positions on Level I of the Executive Schedule to perform duties in additional roles. The bill also clarifies presidential authority regarding temporary acting positions to prevent conflicts of interest. It aims to reduce potential conflicts of interest and ensure focused attention on primary responsibilities.
