Summary
The Congressional Research Service’s plain-language summary of what the law does.
Executive Exchange Program Voluntary Services Act of 1986 - Authorizes the President to establish an experimental program, to be conducted during FY 1987 through 1989, for the acceptance of voluntary services from participants in an executive exchange program. Limits such program to ten participants during any fiscal year.
Allows the head of an agency to accept voluntary services if the services: (1) are to be performed by a participant in the exchange program; and (2) will not displace any Government employee.
Declares: (1) that such participants shall be subject to Federal conflict-of-interest laws and considered agency employees for all purposes except those of pay and benefits; and (2) that nothing in this Act shall prevent continued pay and benefits from the private-sector employer.
Directs the General Accounting Office to report to the Congress on such program not later than March 31, 1989.
