Bill > HR3642

This bill, the Executive Branch Accountability and Transparency Act, requires the Office of Government Ethics to establish and maintain a centralized, publicly accessible database for executive branch ethics records of noncareer appointees. The bill specifies the database's technical requirements, such as being hosted on the Office of Government Ethics' website and complying with accessibility standards. Employing agencies are required to submit electronic copies of covered ethics records, including financial disclosure reports, waivers, and other ethics-related documents, to the database. The bill also outlines procedures for searching for and including records predating the database's establishment, as well as restrictions on redacting information from the records. The database is to be maintained for at least 10 years, ensuring the public's long-term access to these important executive branch ethics records.
