Executive Ethics Transparency: Public Databases for Appointee Financial Records.
This Act mandates federal agencies to create public, easily accessible databases containing ethics and financial records for high-level political appointees (noncareer employees). This gives citizens centralized access to information about potential conflicts of interest, ethics waivers, and personal finances of these officials, significantly enhancing public oversight of the Executive Branch. The databases must be free, searchable, and include historical data.
