## Summary

**Stronger ethics and transparency for Special Government Employees (SGEs)**. This bill would tighten conflict-of-interest limits for SGEs, require official designation on personnel forms, and push waivers into the public view quickly. - Special Government Employees: It would expand when SGEs face conflict rules, cover SGEs who are not on advisory committees and those who serve as chair or vice chair, and apply prohibitions to specific parts of a matter where the SGE’s organization has a financial interest. - Agencies and the Office of Government Ethics: Waivers under the law would need concurrence from a designated OGE official before issuance. - Public and oversight: Any waiver or exemption must be posted in a searchable online database within 14 days, and waivers for non-advisory SGEs or chairs and vice chairs must be made promptly accessible.
