Public Ethics - Members of the General Assembly - State and Local Government Employment Exemption

Summary

The bill lets a member of the General Assembly, a filed candidate, or a member‑elect receive earned income from a state executive unit or political subdivision if the work meets specific criteria, such as teaching, merit‑based positions, human services, or a logical career progression. It also excludes law‑enforcement or fire‑rescue jobs and permits income from relationships that existed before candidacy or after serving a full term and meeting qualifications. The change aims to give legislators flexibility while preserving ethical safeguards.
