§13104 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

Requires each federal financial disclosure report to give a clear list of a person’s money and financial ties from the prior calendar year and, in some cases, up to the filing date. Reported items must include non‑Government income and honoraria (and, effective January 1, 1991, payments made to charities instead of honoraria), investment income like dividends, rent, interest, and capital gains over $200 (reported in these ranges: not more than $1,000; >$1,000–$2,500; >$2,500–$5,000; >$5,000–$15,000; >$15,000–$50,000; >$50,000–$100,000; >$100,000–$1,000,000; >$1,000,000–$5,000,000; >$5,000,000), gifts and reimbursements above the higher of the legal minimal value or $250 (hospitality and small gifts of $100 or less need not be counted in totals), interests in businesses or investment property over $1,000, liabilities over $10,000 (with limited mortgage and small consumer loan exceptions), purchases or sales over $1,000 in non‑personal real estate or securities, outside positions and past pay over $5,000 in the two years before the first report, and agreements about future jobs, leaves, continued payments, or benefit plans. Some items must be shown as of the filing date or within 31 days before filing. Spouses and dependent children must be reported in many of the same ways: earned pay over $1,000, certain investment income, gifts and reimbursements tied to the reporting person, and relevant assets, with some limited exceptions for separate or dissolved spouses. A qualified blind trust must meet strict rules (independent trustee, no disclosure to the beneficiary, trustee filings) and the filer must give the ethics office trust documents and asset lists within 30 days; some trust filings become public. Political campaign funds, federal retirement pay and plans, and Social Security benefits do not have to be listed. Civil penalties up to $10,000 (knowing violation) or $5,000 (negligent violation) may apply for certain blind trust violations.

of title II of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989” is not translated to a date certain because the date varies. For most provisions, the

Effective Date

is January 1, 1991. For section 102(f)(4)(B) of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, which is restated as section 13104(f)(4)(B) of title 5, United States Code, the

Effective Date

is January 1, 1990. See section 204 of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989, as added by section 3(10)(B) of Public Law 101–280 (104 Stat. 157). In subsection (f)(4)(B)(i)(V), the reference to “the

Effective Date

of this Act” is not translated to a date certain because the date is ambiguous. The words “the

Effective Date

of this Act” probably mean the

Effective Date

of title II of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (rather than the

Effective Date

of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978). Title II of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 enacted a general amendment of title I of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (see section 202 at 103 Stat. 1724). For title II of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989, the

Effective Date

varies. For most provisions, the

Effective Date

is January 1, 1991. For section 102(f)(4)(B) of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, which is restated as section 13104(f)(4)(B) of title 5, United States Code, the

Effective Date

is January 1, 1990. See section 204 of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989, as added by section 3(10)(B) of Public Law 101–280 (104 Stat. 157).
