Restrict Conflicted Lobbying Act

HR 5124, the Restrict Conflicted Lobbying Act, extends the post-employment lobbying ban for certain former senior government officials from one year to two years. Specifically, it amends Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 207(c) to require that individuals leaving covered senior executive branch positions wait two years before lobbying, instead of one. This change directly affects former senior officials who transition to lobbying roles after leaving government service. The bill makes no other policy changes beyond lengthening this waiting period, applying to those departing on or after the law's enactment date.
