Requires House employees to get background checks and publicly report foreign payments or citizenship.
This bill would require all House employees to undergo criminal background checks by the Capitol Police. It would also make them report any payments from foreign governments or if they are foreign citizens, with these reports made public. This changes current House rules to add new transparency and security measures for congressional staff.
Today, the rules for the House of Representatives do not explicitly require criminal background checks for House employees by the United States Capitol Police. Also, House employees are not required to publicly report payments from foreign governments or their foreign citizenship/nationality. If this bill becomes law, all House employees would undergo criminal background checks, and those with foreign payments, contracts, or citizenship would have to publicly report these details.
