The State Ethics Law prohibits the use or disclosure of confidential information by a public official or employee for private gain, and for such purpose the term "confidential information" means a complaint filed pursuant to the State Ethics Law with any statement, conversation, or knowledge of certain other information received by the complainant.
This bill would amend the definition of "confidential information" in the State Ethics Law to mean information that is available to a public official or employee that is available solely by virtue of a public position, and not otherwise available to the public.
