Bill > HR3582

This bill, known as the "No revolving doors in FMS Act of 2025," amends section 207 of title 18 of the United States Code to establish restrictions on former employees of the State Department and Department of Defense who have been involved with foreign military sales (FMS). Specifically, the bill prohibits any person who worked on FMS programs or projects during the three years prior to leaving federal employment from lobbying or attempting to influence federal decisions related to foreign military sales after their departure. If such a former employee knowingly attempts to communicate with or appear before federal officials or Congress to influence foreign military sales decisions, they would be subject to penalties outlined in section 216 of title 18. This legislation aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest and reduce the potential for improper influence in the foreign military sales process by creating a "cooling off" period and strict communication restrictions for recently separated federal employees who had direct involvement in these sensitive transactions.
