The bill would require federal employees and officials to step aside from decisions that could financially benefit their former employers, helping prevent conflicts of interest when government workers move between private industry and government jobs. This rule would apply across all executive branch agencies and departments, affecting career civil servants, political appointees, and other federal employees who previously worked in the private sector. The measure aims to ensure that government decisions are made based on the public interest rather than personal financial gain.
