What this bill would do

The SEER Act of 2025 aims to change how special Government employees are defined and regulated to prevent financial conflicts of interest. It targets special Government employees who hold high-level authority rather than just serving on advisory committees. The bill introduces stricter conflict-of-interest rules and requires more transparency through public disclosures. It also creates a searchable electronic database to track these employees and their service duration. Additionally, the act restricts certain communications between these employees and large companies they may have interests in. Finally, it ensures that long-term special Government employees are subject to the same ethics rules as regular full-time employees.
