Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act
This bill creates a new independent Anti-Corruption Bureau to enforce federal laws regarding campaign finance, government ethics, and whistleblower protection. It establishes a seven-member bureau with staggered six-year terms and strict political balance requirements to prevent any single party from controlling the agency. The legislation also introduces a private right of action that allows citizens to sue officials for corruption and recover stolen funds, while transferring the functions of the Federal Election Commission, Office of Government Ethics, and Office of Special Counsel into this new entity.
