beyond bundling...

The bundling provision is huge, but there's also more to the bill:  

  • It would require Members and senior staff to disclose to the Ethics Committee any negotiations for future employment, and also requires job seekers to recluse themselves from consideration of conflict of interest legislation.
  • It prohibits a Member from influencing a private entity's hiring choice on the basis or partisan political affiliation.
  • It requires the House Clerk to post on a public Internet site for six years all advance authorizations, certifications and disclosure regarding transportation, lodging and related expenses for travel.
