Citizen Legislature Anti-Corruption Reform of Public Service Act or the CLEAN Public Service Act

This bill excludes Members of Congress from further retirement coverage under the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees Retirement System following the enactment of the bill. It also prohibits further government contributions or deductions from a Member's basic pay for deposit in the Treasury to the credit of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund.

This exclusion does not affect a Member's eligibility to participate in the Thrift Savings Plan.

The CLEAN Public Service Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 158, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to promote transparency and accountability within the public service sector.

One of the key provisions of the CLEAN Public Service Act is the establishment of a code of ethics for all public service employees. This code of ethics would outline the expected standards of behavior and conduct for individuals working in government positions, with the aim of reducing corruption and unethical practices.

Additionally, the bill includes measures to increase transparency in government operations. This includes requirements for public disclosure of financial interests and potential conflicts of interest for public service employees, as well as the establishment of an independent oversight committee to monitor compliance with these regulations. Furthermore, the CLEAN Public Service Act includes provisions for whistleblower protection, to encourage individuals to come forward with information about wrongdoing or misconduct within the public service sector without fear of retaliation. Overall, the CLEAN Public Service Act aims to improve the integrity and accountability of the public service sector by establishing clear standards of conduct, increasing transparency, and protecting whistleblowers. It is currently under review in Congress and has garnered bipartisan support for its efforts to promote ethical behavior and reduce corruption in government.
