Time to Choose Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 731, also known as the "Consulting Firm Conflict of Interest Prohibition Act," aims to address potential conflicts of interest that may arise when consulting firms contract with both the United States Government and foreign entities, particularly China and other covered foreign entities. The bill seeks to prevent consulting firms from prioritizing the interests of foreign entities over those of the US Government.

Under this legislation, consulting firms would be prohibited from entering into contracts with both the US Government and covered foreign entities simultaneously. This is to ensure that consulting firms do not have conflicting loyalties or interests that could compromise the integrity of their work for the US Government.

The bill also includes provisions for enforcement and penalties for violations of the prohibition on conflicts of interest. Consulting firms found to be in violation of the law could face fines or other disciplinary actions. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 s 731 is to promote transparency and accountability in government contracting and to safeguard against potential conflicts of interest that could undermine the interests of the United States.
