Makes it a felony to serve on an executive committee in violation of these restrictions, punishable by a fine up to $5,000, imprisonment up to 5 years, or both, with mandatory removal from the committee.

Also bars from executive committee service any person removed from elected or appointed public office for malfeasance, misfeasance, nonfeasance, or who resigned as part of a plea agreement.

Requires submission to the U.S. Attorney General or federal court under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before taking effect.
