Bill > HR7782

This bill, the Closing the Congressional Revolving Door Act, amends Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit former members and elected officers of Congress from lobbying Congress at any time after leaving office. The bill also restricts certain benefits and services, such as access to the Hall of the House, athletic facilities, and the Members' Dining Room, from being made available to former members of the House of Representatives, with the Speaker and Minority Leader having the authority to grant waivers on a case-by-case basis. The amendments made by the bill apply to individuals who leave office on or after the date of the bill's enactment.
