What this bill would do
The "No Cashing In Act" requires former Members of Congress to file annual financial disclosure reports. These reports must be filed for ten years after their employment ends or for the duration of their annuity payments, whichever is longer. Additionally, the bill reduces a former Member's annuity by any income they earned from a substantial lobbying entity in the previous year.
