AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would turn House Resolution 895 from the 110th Congress, which created the Office of Congressional Ethics, into permanent federal law. It would limit board members to four 2-year terms and require board vacancies to be filled within 60 days. The board could keep operating with unfilled vacancies unless it has fewer than 3 members, and members already over the term limit would be removed within 30 days. People under review by the board would be told of their right to a lawyer, and the Office could not deny anyone their constitutional rights.
