This bill amends the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to require the President, Vice President, or any high-level official, to file a report with the Office of Government Ethics 30 days after the sale of real property. The report must identify: (1) the name of each beneficial owner of the property, and (2) the current residential or business street address of each beneficial owner of the property.

The report must be published on the website of the Office of Government Ethics.
