Lobbying Cooling-Off Period Extension Act

by RetiredTeacher_PA1mo ago30Editing locked

This legislation extends the post-service lobbying ban for former members of Congress from 1-2 years to 5 years, extends the ban to cover senior congressional staff, and closes loopholes that allow "strategic advising" that functions as lobbying without registration.
