Adds subsection (d) to 5 U.S.C. 1103 establishing a definition of "covered individual" (special Government employees not serving on advisory committees, excluding individuals described in 13107(a)(1) or (2)) and requiring the Director, in coordination with the Office of Government Ethics, to maintain and publish a public, searchable, sortable, downloadable electronic database listing each covered individual's name, a rolling tally of days served as a special Government employee, and a description of why they were designated as a special Government employee rather than a regular employee.

Adds a new subparagraph (C) to 5 U.S.C. 3330f(a)(5) to require position data to include special Government employees (as defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a)), with specified exclusions for those who only serve as advisory committee members, whose duties are comparable to GS–10 or lower, or whose positions are designated exclusively for students.
