Preventing Government Officials' Enrichment from Public Funds

This act aims to boost public trust in government by preventing the use of taxpayer money for goods or services from businesses owned by high-ranking government officials or their families. This ensures that public funds are not used for personal gain by those in power, promoting fairness and transparency in government spending.
Key points
Prohibits federal funds from being spent on goods or services from businesses owned by the President, Vice President, heads of executive departments, or their family members.
Executive agencies are barred from entering into contracts with businesses controlled by these officials or their relatives.
The goal is to separate public service from personal profit, enhancing trust in government.
