increase legislative oversight procedures and protections against conflicts of interest, and to provide a penalty therefor.

Summary

The bill gives the Government Operations and Audit Committee, and the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, broader authority to issue subpoenas and conduct civil‑type discovery. It also shields state employees and contractors from retaliation when they cooperate with investigations and creates new criminal penalties for post‑employment lobbying and conflict‑of‑interest violations. The measures aim to improve oversight and deter misuse of public office.
