Employee Limits ON Profiteering Act

This bill would stop the federal government from giving contracts, grants, or similar awards to “special Government employees” (people who work for the government in a limited or temporary way), unless they only serve on an advisory committee. It also tells the government to update its purchasing rules within 60 days to follow this policy. The term “covered third party” is mentioned but not defined in the text provided. The goal is to reduce conflicts of interest and keep public service and private gain separate.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Special Government employees, and possibly certain third parties connected to them (definition not shown here).
• What changes: The government cannot enter into contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or similar deals with these employees; an exception applies if they only serve on an advisory committee.
• When: Federal purchasing rules must be updated within 60 days after the bill becomes law.
