Retired Officers Conflict of Interest Act of 2024

This bill prohibits retired military members with access to classified information from seeking approval for foreign government employment for 30 months after retirement, with exceptions for the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It requires pre-approval from the Secretary of Defense and State Department for such employment, including national security reviews, and mandates annual reporting of foreign employment for five years post-retirement. Violations carry civil penalties up to $100,000 or the compensation received, plus potential five-year bans on federal employment or classified access. The bill also creates a public database tracking all approved foreign employment cases to increase transparency.
