Outlines various specified remedies for violations under such laws as well as administrative and judicial dispute-resolution procedures for considering alleged violations. Amends Federal money and finance law to provide within the Executive Office of the President for a Chief Financial Officer and a Deputy Chief Financial Officer with the same authority and functions as their agency counterparts under such law. Amends the Federal criminal code's definition of "special Government employee" with respect to specified conflict-of-interest and post-employment restrictions on certain officers and employees of the Federal Government or the District of Columbia government. Outlines the criteria for an individual to be considered "retained, designated, appointed, or employed" by the Executive Office of the President. Provides that each Federal law governing employment in the private sector that is enacted later than 12 months after this Act is enacted shall be deemed to apply to the employing offices unless such law specifically provides otherwise and expressly cites this Act. Amends the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 to: (1) make punitive damages available as part of the remedy for a violation of its prohibition against racial and disability discrimination; and (2) allow the award of civil penalty and punitive damages as expressly provided in such Act.
