The SEER Act tightens ethics rules for special Government employees (SGEs)—part-time or temporary federal workers who often serve on advisory committees while maintaining outside business interests. Currently, most SGEs face fewer disclosure and conflict-of-interest requirements than full-time federal employees, creating potential hidden conflicts. This bill requires SGEs who are not on advisory committees, or who chair committees, to disclose their finances publicly, restrict their communications with agencies that regulate or contract with companies where they hold leadership roles, and comply with the same ethics rules as regular employees after serving 60 days in a year. The bill also creates a searchable public database listing SGEs and their service length, mandates that ethics waivers be posted online within 14 days, and prevents the executive branch from keeping SGEs beyond the legal 130-day limit. The Office of Government Ethics will issue regulations to implement these changes. The legislation aims to increase transparency and prevent conflicts of interest among these federal workers while minimizing burdens on advisory committee members with truly limited roles.
