Pennsylvania HB557 extends the restricted activities period for former public officials and employees from one year to five years.

Pennsylvania HB557 amends Title 65 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to extend the restricted activities period for former public officials and employees. Specifically, it prohibits former public officials and employees from representing a person with promised or actual compensation on any matter before the governmental body they were associated with for five years after they leave that body. This change aims to enhance ethics standards and financial disclosure by preventing potential conflicts of interest.
