Ethics for Public Officers and Employees

Summary

The bill expands the legal definition of a “relative” to include foster parents, foster children and engaged partners, and modifies the nepotism restriction so elected officials can appoint or promote a related elected official to a leadership role on the same board. It also updates campaign‑finance reporting and extends ethics, disclosure and conflict‑of‑interest rules – including gift limits and misdemeanor penalties – to a wide range of state agencies, boards and school entities.
