Summary

Names which offices make the rules and who runs the ethics programs for each branch.

For Senators and other legislative branch officers and employees not in the House group, the committee that receives their reports under subchapter I handles it, but that committee can delegate the authority. The Office of Government Ethics makes rules for the executive branch and designated agency ethics officials carry them out. The Judicial Conference of the United States (or an agency it chooses) runs the program for the judicial branch.
