Executive Branch Accountability and Transparency Act of 2024

The Executive Branch Accountability and Transparency Act requires federal agencies to create searchable public databases containing ethics records for noncareer government employees, including financial disclosures, ethics waivers, and recusal agreements. Agencies must compile these records within 270 days of guidance from the Office of Government Ethics, including all records from the previous 9 years. The databases must be accessible on agency websites without registration, comply with accessibility standards, and remain publicly available for at least 10 years. This bill directly affects thousands of federal appointees in noncareer positions, making previously hard-to-find ethics information more transparent to the public.
