A bipartisan Senate duo are pushing a proposal to permanently prohibit former lawmakers and elected officers of Congress<\/a> from lobbying.<\/p>\n

Republican Sen. Rick Scott<\/a> of Florida and Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have teamed up on a measure called the “Banning Lobbying And Safeguarding Trust Act,” or “BLAST Act.”<\/p>\n

“When politicians use their time in public office to cash in after they leave government, the American people lose. Trust in our institutions is at an all-time low, and the revolving door between Capitol Hill and K Street is a big part of that. We need to restore the American people\u2019s trust in their government, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to introduce this bipartisan bill to put government clearly back on the side of the people,” Scott said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Our founders never intended public service to become a training ground for a lifetime of lobbying<\/a>. Senator Warren and I are working to end this practice once and for all,” he added.<\/p>\n

The proposal for a permanent lobbying ban on lawmakers would go further than current law, according to Warren’s office.<\/p>\n

“Under current law, former members of Congress are allowed to lobby their former colleagues in Congress after a \u2018cooling off\u2019 period \u2014 one year for former members of the House of Representatives and two years for former senators,” her office said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s simple: Members of Congress should spend their time in Washington serving the American people, not preparing to cash in big time with a cushy lobbying career after they leave office,” Warren said in a statement. “It\u2019s long past time to close the revolving door that\u2019s corrupted our government and destroyed public trust in elected officials. This bipartisan bill is an important push to get that done.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
