The Office of Government Ethics has finalized a previously proposed rule affecting financial disclosure requirements, with new policies affecting qualified trusts, certificates of divestiture and more. It takes effect January 1.
“The final rule incorporates the reporting requirements imposed by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act. The rule also makes changes to the confidential filing requirements, adds and updates examples, and conforms the language of the regulation more closely to that of the Ethics in Government Act,” OGE said.
The OGE also updated definitions to bring them in line with the exemptions to the conflicts of interest law governing personal financial interests.
