CFTC International Operational Improvements Act of 2026

This bill would let the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) accept help, including services, funds, and facilities, from other federal agencies that are allowed by law to provide it. It would let employees of other federal agencies be assigned to the CFTC with or without repayment, without losing civil service status. It would also let the CFTC accept temporary staff from foreign regulators and government agencies, such as central banks, and send its own staff to work temporarily for them, under written agreements. Foreign staff assigned to the CFTC would have to follow U.S. ethics and conflict-of-interest rules and could not hold management positions. The bill also expands the definition of "foreign futures authority" to include bodies that oversee or prosecute matters involving swaps and commodities, not only futures and options.
