HR 3642 United States House · 118th Congress

Executive Branch Accountability and Transparency Act

This bill requires federal agencies to create a public, searchable database containing ethics records for certain employees, including financial disclosures, gift approvals, and ethics waivers. Agencies must submit these records electronically within 60 days of enactment, include records from the previous 9 years, and ensure they remain publicly available for 10 years. The database must be free to access, fully accessible (meeting Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), and exclude only specific sensitive information like trade secrets or safety risks. It directly affects executive branch agencies and employees in political or sensitive roles, such as presidential appointees and noncareer staff covered under federal ethics rules.
