- Title
- Ethics, eliminate certain notification requirement for candidates to Ethics Commission when otherwise in compliance with law
- Description
State ethics law requires a candidate to file a statement of economic interests with the State Ethics Commission for the previous year within five days after the individual qualifies as a candidate, but does not require an additional statement if a statement is already on file with the commission. However, the law does require a candidate who has already filed a statement to provide proof to the commission of the previous filing.
This bill would eliminate the requirement that a candidate who has already filed a statement of economic interests notify the State Ethics Commission of this fact upon qualifying for candidacy.
