RUBIO Act

This bill would bar the Secretary of State from also serving in any other federal job or doing the duties of another federal job. If the Secretary tried to do both, the government could not use federal money to pay their salary or expenses during that time.

Key points

• Who is affected: The Secretary of State and the agencies that pay the Secretary’s salary and expenses.
• What changes: The Secretary cannot hold or carry out duties of any other federal position; if they do, no federal funds can be used for their pay or expenses.
• When: Would apply if this bill becomes law (the text does not list a special start date).
