Under existing law, public officials and public employees receiving compensation in the amount of $50,000 per year must file a statement of economic interests with the State Ethics Commission.
This bill would increase the threshold for filing a statement of economic interests and allow the commission to adjust the amount pursuant to the cost-of-living index and exempt employees who do not have the authority to expend public funds.
