AI Summary
This bill, the White House Ethics Transparency Act of 2021, requires government officials to publicly disclose any waivers or authorizations they grant to employees exempting them from ethics rules or commitments. Specifically, within 30 days of granting such a waiver or authorization, the official must provide a written copy to the Director of the Office of Government Ethics and make it publicly available on the employing agency's website. The Director must then also post the waiver or authorization on the Office of Government Ethics website. The bill defines "covered employees" as non-career political appointees, such as those in the Senior Executive Service or in Schedule C positions, but excludes members of the Senior Foreign Service and uniformed service commissioned officers.
