Bill > S07362

This bill amends the Public Officers Law to require certain individuals, including members of regional economic development councils, to file annual financial disclosure forms. The bill requires state officials, legislators, legislative employees, political party chairs, and candidates for statewide or legislative office to file these forms, which provide information about their financial interests. The forms are filed with the legislative ethics commission or the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government, depending on the filer's position. The bill takes effect on June 1st, with certain provisions aligning with the effective date of a separate law change.
