No revolving doors in FMS Act of 2025

# No Revolving Doors in FMS Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to restrict the "revolving door" between government and private industry in foreign military sales (FMS). The legislation would likely impose restrictions on former government officials who work on foreign military sales from immediately taking jobs with defense contractors or companies involved in those sales. The bill seeks to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that government decisions about military equipment sales to foreign countries aren't influenced by officials' plans to profit from those same companies after leaving office. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect Department of Defense officials, State Department personnel, and other government employees involved in approving and managing foreign military sales to other countries. It would also impact defense contractors and weapons manufacturers that currently hire former government officials.

Additionally, foreign governments that purchase U.S. military equipment could be indirectly affected if the restrictions slow down sales processes. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. It was introduced by Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) in the 119th Congress. The bill has not advanced beyond the committee stage, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the broader legislature.
