This bill requires the Secretary of State to submit detailed reports to Congress identifying former high-ranking U.S. government officials who have been approved to advise foreign governments. The first report must be submitted within 90 days of the bill's enactment, with annual reports continuing for three additional years thereafter. The reports will go to multiple congressional committees including those focused on intelligence, foreign affairs, homeland security, and armed services. While the reports will be released in unclassified form to allow public transparency, they may include a classified annex for sensitive information. The legislation aims to increase oversight and awareness of how former U.S. officials are engaging with foreign governments after leaving federal service.
