Don’t Quit to Lobby Act

This bill changes when former Members of Congress must wait before lobbying. It delays the start of the lobbying ban from the day they leave office to the end of their elected term. Specifically, Senators must wait two years after their term ends, and House members must wait one year after their term ends. The bill directly affects former Senators, Representatives, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners who seek to lobby the government after leaving office. It does not change the length of the ban, only when it begins.
