A bill to amend section 442 of title 18, United States Code, to exempt certain interests in mutual funds, unit investment trusts, employee benefit plans, and retirement plans from conflict of interest limitations for the Government Publishing Office.

This bill revises conflict-of-interest limitations for personnel at the Government Publishing Office (GPO). Current law prohibits GPO personnel from having any printing-related interest. This bill creates an exemption for certain interests—interests in diversified mutual funds, diversified unit investment trusts, employee benefit plans, and retirement plans—that have underlying holdings in printing-related interests. Additionally, the prohibition applies only to the GPO director—not to other GPO personnel.
