Bill > H3120

This bill aims to close a loophole in the state's conflict of interest law regarding travel gifts and promote greater transparency and accountability. Specifically, it amends the state's ethics laws to prohibit elected officials from accepting travel expenses paid by organizations registered as clients 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 to revise the disclosure form to include whether the official has been subject to legislative lobbying by the organization paying their travel expenses within the prior 12 months.
