What it does
The Hatch Act Enforcement Transparency and Accountability Act would amend Title 5 of the U.S. Code to increase accountability and transparency in how the Office of Special Counsel enforces the Hatch Act, particularly regarding political activity prohibitions. It requires the Special Counsel to regularly report to Congress on complaints involving noncareer employees, publish anonymized demographic and enforcement statistics on its website, and provide detailed explanations for decisions not to pursue complaints against noncareer employees. The bill defines key terms like "career employee" and "noncareer employee" to ensure consistent application of these requirements across federal workers.
