Bill overview
This bill, the Restrict Conflicted Lobbying Act, aims to prevent former high-ranking officials from lobbying the government agencies they previously worked for. It extends the ‘cooling-off’ period – the time former executive branch employees are prohibited from lobbying their old agencies – from one year to two years. This change is intended to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest and ensure greater transparency in government relations. The bill specifically modifies existing law regarding post-employment lobbying restrictions.
