Bill > H3240

This bill aims to close a loophole in the state's conflict of interest law regarding travel gifts and increase transparency and accountability. Specifically, the bill amends the existing law to remove an exclusion that allowed state officials to accept travel expenses paid by organizations registered as lobbyists under the state's lobbying law. The bill also requires the State Ethics Commission to maintain a publicly accessible database of travel expense disclosure forms filed by elected officials and revise the disclosure form to include whether the official has been subject to legislative lobbying by the organization paying their travel expenses.
