Drain the Swamp Act

HR 2857, the "Drain the Swamp Act," makes Executive Order 13989 a permanent law requiring all executive branch employees to submit annual ethics commitments. This directly affects federal workers in the executive branch, including department heads and agency staff, by mandating formal ethics disclosures as a legal requirement. The key provision codifies an existing executive order - previously changeable by presidential decree - into binding law, ensuring these ethics rules persist across administrations. This change shifts the enforcement of ethics commitments from executive policy to statutory obligation without altering the content of the requirements.
