Public Disclosure of Foreign Income for Senior Government Nominees.
This law increases transparency in the appointment process for key federal officials responsible for national security and finance. It requires nominees for senior roles in the Departments of Defense, Treasury, State, and Intelligence to publicly disclose all income and services received from foreign governments or political parties over the past five years.
