What does it mean to “be special Government employees within the meaning of section 202 of title 18, United States Code”?
A special Government employee (SGE) is a United States Government employee who serves on a part-time basis and therefore is subject to fewer government ethics standards. Most standards are based on length of service with the standards becoming increasingly stringent after sixty days of service in one year. Consequently, the remaining answers in this summary assume that PAC members will not serve more than sixty days each year. Service as a PAC member means time spent meeting or otherwise engaged in PAC business.
