Plain Language Summary

# Close the Revolving Door Act of 2025 Summary **What It Would Do:** This bill aims to restrict the "revolving door" between government and lobbying—the practice where former government officials quickly move into lobbying jobs for private interests, or vice versa. While the bill's specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, such legislation typically imposes waiting periods or other restrictions on when former government employees can work as lobbyists or on behalf of foreign entities, and may limit when lobbyists can take government positions. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily impact former federal employees, current government officials considering private sector careers, and lobbying firms. It could also indirectly affect Congress members and their staff, as well as any organizations that hire former government workers. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (the early stage of the legislative process), meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House.

As introduced by Representative Joe Neguse (D-Colorado), it remains in the early phases of consideration. *Note: Complete details about specific provisions aren't available in the provided information. For full details, check Congress.gov.*.
