The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-81, 121 Stat. 735) is a federal law in the United States, enacted by the 110th United States Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on September 14, 2007. Introduced as S. 1 in the Senate by Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-NV) with bipartisan cosponsors including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and with a companion bill H.R. 2316 by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI-14), it amended the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-65) and related provisions in Titles 2, 18, 25, and 52 of the U.S. Code. Intended to curb the influence of lobbyists, the Act restricts gifts and travel for members of Congress and provides progress on ethics and earmark reform. It was passed in response to lobbying scandals, including the Jack Abramoff affair, though President Bush criticized its uneven standards between the House and Senate, as well as burdens on executive branch recruitment and presidential campaigns.
