Tighter recusal rules for executive officials

If enacted, the bill would require executive branch officers and employees to recuse from any matter that would affect the financial interests of an organization they were tied to in the prior four years. Ties would include serving as an officer, director, trustee, general partner, agent, attorney, consultant, contractor, employee, or being a direct competitor, or being an active participant in the organization. The rule would exclude political organizations described in Internal Revenue Code section 527(e). These recusal duties would take effect upon enactment and broaden when officials must step aside from conflicted matters.
