AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar federal officers and employees from holding more than one federal civil service position at the same time, unless a law explicitly allows it. It would also bar them from applying for or entering into federal contracts, or receiving pay or other financial benefits under a federal contract, while employed. Anyone who knowingly breaks these rules would have to repay the money received with interest and would be referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and possible prosecution. Agencies would have to report suspected violations to an inspector general, and the Office of Personnel Management's Inspector General would audit payroll and personnel records each year and report the results to Congress.
