§4724 — Title 2 The Congress | U.S. Code

Summary

Senate employees who must file a report under Senate rules must not personally take part in contacting an executive-branch or judicial-branch agency about matters not related to making laws if those matters affect a private person or group in which the employee has a significant financial interest. They may only do so after telling their supervisor about the financial interest, getting a written waiver from the supervisor saying their participation is necessary, and filing a copy of that waiver with the Select Committee.
