Federal Ethics Laws

Federal ethics laws are regulations that govern the conduct of government employees and officials in the United States. These laws aim to ensure that public servants act with integrity, avoid conflicts of interest, and maintain public trust. Key provisions include prohibitions against accepting gifts from lobbyists, requirements to disclose financial interests, and rules against using one's position for personal gain. Ultimately, these laws promote accountability and transparency in government work, ensuring that officials serve the public interest rather than their own personal interests.
