The RUBIO Act would prohibit the Secretary of State from holding or carrying out the duties of any other federal position. If the Secretary does hold or perform duties in another federal role, no federal funds may be obligated or expended to pay the Secretary’s salary or cover the Secretary’s expenses for that dual role. The bill’s short title, the Reaffirming Unified Boundaries for Integrity and Oversight Act, signals an aim to reinforce separation between the State Department and other federal positions to reduce conflicts of interest and ensure focused oversight. In short, the bill enshrines a prohibition on dual federal employment for the Secretary of State and ties compliance to funding—meaning the Secretary would likely need to relinquish any other federal duties to receive federal pay.
