Bill > HR2824

This bill, known as the Employee Limits ON Profiteering Act, aims to restrict federal awards (which include contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements) to special Government employees and their associated parties. Specifically, the bill prohibits the federal government from providing awards to a special Government employee, their spouse, child, general partner, or an organization where they serve in a leadership or employment role. The only exception to this prohibition is for special Government employees who serve solely as members of an advisory committee, which is defined according to existing legal definitions. The bill requires the Federal Acquisition Regulation to be updated within 60 days of enactment to reflect these restrictions. A "special Government employee" is defined by existing legal code as a temporary or part-time federal worker who is brought in to serve in a specific capacity. The overall intent of the bill appears to be preventing potential conflicts of interest and limiting the ability of special Government employees to profit from their government connections by receiving federal awards through direct or indirect means.
