Trust in Government Act of 2023

Bill 118 HR 2689, also known as the Trust in Government Act of 2023, aims to increase transparency and accountability within the federal government. The bill includes several key provisions to achieve this goal.

One of the main components of the Trust in Government Act is the establishment of a new Office of Government Ethics, which will be responsible for overseeing and enforcing ethical standards for federal employees. This office will work to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that government officials are acting in the best interest of the public.

Additionally, the bill includes measures to increase transparency in government operations. This includes requiring federal agencies to disclose more information about their activities and expenditures, as well as making it easier for the public to access this information. The Trust in Government Act also includes provisions to strengthen whistleblower protections, allowing individuals to report misconduct without fear of retaliation. Overall, the Trust in Government Act of 2023 seeks to restore trust in the federal government by promoting ethical behavior, increasing transparency, and protecting those who speak out against wrongdoing. If passed, this bill has the potential to improve the functioning of the government and increase public confidence in its actions.
