Ending DOGE Conflicts Act
Plain Language Summary
# Ending DOGE Conflicts Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 1321, called the "Ending DOGE Conflicts Act," addresses potential conflicts of interest related to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Based on its subject matter, the bill would likely establish ethics rules and oversight requirements for government employees and contractors involved in DOGE operations. The bill appears designed to ensure transparency and prevent conflicts of interest in government procurement and personnel decisions, particularly as DOGE evaluates federal spending and efficiency. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This bill primarily affects government employees working within or advising DOGE, federal contractors bidding on government work, and the federal agencies subject to DOGE's efficiency reviews.
The bill's focus on government ethics, public contracts, and personnel management suggests it would create rules requiring disclosure of financial interests, recusal from decisions where conflicts exist, and possibly restrictions on federal employees working with entities they have financial ties to. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative John B. Larson (D-CT) and remains in committee as of now, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. It has not advanced to become law.
