AI Summary

This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 268B of the General Laws to expand the authority of the state ethics commission. Specifically, it allows the commission to prescribe and publish rules and regulations not only to carry out Chapter 268B (the state ethics law), but also to carry out Chapter 268A, which governs conflict of interest laws. This includes the ability to establish exemptions from the provisions of Chapter 268A. The purpose of this bill is to grant the state ethics commission broader rulemaking authority to better enforce ethics and conflict of interest laws in Massachusetts.
