This bill, known as the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act," aims to enhance ethics and transparency for high-ranking federal officials and their families. It establishes a broad prohibition on "covered individuals," including Members of Congress, the President, Vice President, and their spouses and dependent children, from directly or indirectly buying or selling "covered investments." These investments encompass digital assets, securities, commodities, futures, and derivatives, with exceptions for diversified funds, U.S. Treasury instruments, and state/municipal bonds. The only general allowance for such trades is if the investments are held within a qualified blind trust. To ensure compliance, covered individuals must provide quarterly disclosures to their supervising ethics office regarding their investments. Violations of these trading restrictions carry significant penalties, including the forfeiture of all profits from illicit transactions and an additional fine of up to three times the investment's value. Importantly, these penalties cannot be paid using campaign funds or official allowances, and all violations and assessed penalties will be publicly disclosed. The legislation also introduces a lifetime ban for former Members of Congress and Senate-confirmed appointees, preventing them from lobbying on behalf of "foreign countries of concern" such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Furthermore, it mandates that spouses of "covered Federal officials"—Members of Congress and Senate-confirmed appointees— register with the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House, unless they are already registered lobbyists. This aims to prevent exploitation of their unique access and potential influence. Registered spouses must submit quarterly reports detailing any "covered advocacy activities," which include utilizing contacts gained through their official spouse's position, sustained work for a client, or traditional lobbying contacts. These reports must specify clients, issues, government contacts, foreign interests, and expenses. Additionally, the bill prohibits Members of Congress and their spouses from serving on the boards of any for-profit entities , though an exception allows spouses already serving to complete their current term, provided they do not seek officer positions or serve additional terms and submit mandatory quarterly disclosures. Finally, the bill extends existing gift disclosure requirements to include gifts received by spouses of Members of Congress, excluding those who are registered lobbyists. This comprehensive set of provisions aims to prevent conflicts of interest, reduce the appearance of impropriety, and increase transparency across various aspects of federal public service and its associated family members.
