Limiting and Disclosing Special Government Employee Employment

New rules limit the working time of special government employees to 130 days per year, ensuring these individuals do not hold permanent positions without proper classification. The act also increases transparency by creating a public database of these employees and making their financial disclosures available, allowing citizens to better understand who works for the government and their financial ties.
Key points
Limits special government employee service to 130 days within any 365-day period to prevent misuse of this employment type.
Requires reclassification of special employees exceeding the 130-day limit to permanent positions, with full rights and obligations.
Establishes a public, searchable database with information on special government employees, including name, position, pay, and employing agency.
Mandates public release of financial disclosure reports for covered special government employees, enhancing transparency and allowing scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest.
