Increased Transparency in Enforcing Rules on Government Employee Political Activity.
This act aims to increase transparency and accountability in how the government oversees political activities of its employees. Citizens will gain better insight into how complaints about prohibited political activity are handled, especially for high-ranking officials. This is intended to ensure rules are applied fairly to everyone, regardless of their position or political affiliation.
Key points
More information on complaints about employee political activity will be regularly reported to Congress, including whether complaints involve career or politically appointed employees.
The Office of Special Counsel will be required to publicly share anonymized statistical data on political activity complaints, including demographic information about the individuals involved.
For decisions not to pursue action against high-ranking officials, the Office of Special Counsel must provide detailed explanations, increasing accountability for such decisions.
