Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act

This bill would create an Anti-Corruption Bureau, an independent federal agency with seven members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. No more than three members could belong to the same party, and an advisory panel would recommend nominees. The Bureau would enforce federal laws on campaign finance, government ethics, conflicts of interest, financial disclosure, and whistleblower protection, taking over civil enforcement duties from other agencies. The bill would also make it unlawful for the President, Vice President, senior officials, and federal contractors to use their positions corruptly to gain more than $50,000. It would allow private persons, including state attorneys general, to sue on behalf of the United States over such violations and receive a share of any money recovered.
