Bill > HR2455

This bill, known as the Special Government Employees Transparency Act of 2025, establishes new regulations for special Government employees (SGEs), who are individuals working in executive branch agencies in a limited capacity. The bill implements a 130-day service limit within any 365-day period, after which an SGE must be reclassified into an appropriate employment status with clear written notification and appeal rights. Additionally, the bill requires the creation of a public, searchable database maintained by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management that will provide transparency by listing details about each covered special Government employee, including their name, position, pay rate, employing agency, appointment date, and termination date. The database must be freely accessible online, comply with accessibility guidelines, and be updated regularly by agency heads. Furthermore, the bill mandates the public release of financial disclosure reports filed by covered special Government employees, with exceptions for certain sensitive reports containing national defense information or filed by specific types of employees. The goal is to increase accountability and provide greater public insight into the use and composition of special Government employees across federal agencies.
