Ethics Reform: Increased Transparency and Conflict of Interest Control for Government Employees

This act aims to increase transparency and reduce conflicts of interest among special government employees. It introduces new rules for financial disclosure and agency communications, designed to protect public interests and ensure government integrity. Citizens will gain better insight into potential financial ties of individuals holding important positions.
Key points
Increased Financial Transparency: Special government employees in higher positions will be required to publicly disclose their finances, allowing citizens to check for conflicts of interest.
Restricted Company Communications: Government employees with financial ties to large companies will have limited communication with agencies that regulate or contract with those companies.
Public Database: A public, searchable database will be created containing information on special government employees, including their service duration and reasons for designation.
Stricter Ethics Rules: After 60 days of service, special government employees will be subject to the same ethics rules as regular employees, and after 130 days, even stricter conflict-of-interest regulations.
