The Preventing Corruption in Advisory Roles Act would prohibit Department of Defense special government employees from obligating or spending federal funds while performing their official duties. Special government employees are part-time or temporary advisors who work for the federal government, and this bill would prevent them from making financial decisions or commitments on behalf of the Defense Department. The legislation is intended to reduce potential conflicts of interest and corruption risks by keeping advisory roles separate from spending authority. The bill was introduced in September 2024 and referred to the House Armed Services Committee but does not include specific funding or implementation timelines beyond the immediate prohibition.
