§13109 Confidential Reports and Other Additional Requirements

Summary

Supervising ethics offices can make certain officers and employees file confidential financial reports in a form the office chooses. The office will set rules about what must be reported and can ask for more or less information than the rest of this subchapter when needed, including in light of sections 202 through 209 of title 18. People who must file under section 13103 do not have to file another confidential report unless the new report asks for more detail. Parts (a), (b), and (d) of section 13107 do not apply to these confidential reports. Information in these reports is kept private and not released to the public. These confidential reports do not replace any public filing someone is otherwise required to make. The reporting rules here override other general laws or rules about conflict-of-interest reporting, but do not override section 7342. Filing a report does not give permission to accept income, gifts, reimbursements, hold assets or positions, or take part in transactions that the law or rules forbid. Special Government employees are a type of temporary government worker.
