HR 1463 United States House · 118th Congress

Restoring Trust in Public Servants Act

This bill, the Restoring Trust in Public Servants Act, restricts financial activities for certain government officials to reduce conflicts of interest. It prohibits Members of Congress, their family members, the President, Vice President, political appointees, and judicial officers from owning or trading specific investments during their service, requiring divestment within 90 days. The bill also limits outside earned income for Members of Congress to 15% of their salary, bans paid service on boards (with limited nonprofit exceptions), and imposes penalties for violations including up to a month's salary. It includes a one-year lobbying ban for former Members of Congress and certain staff members, with additional restrictions on lobbying foreign entities. The bill requires ethics offices to publicly list individuals who violate these provisions.
