This bill amends the Public Officers Law to require certain additional individuals to file annual financial disclosure forms. Specifically, it adds members of regional economic development councils, even if they are volunteers, to the list of those required to file these forms. The bill also makes some technical changes to the filing process, such as transferring the role of the Joint Commission on Public Ethics to the newly created Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government. Overall, the bill aims to expand financial transparency requirements for certain state and local officials and entities.
