Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning state and local governmental ethics; relating to filing requirements of the statement of substantial interests; requiring annual filing by city or county elected or appointed officials; providing that elected or appointed officials of a governmental subdivision other than a city or county file statements of substantial interests if any change in substantial interests occurred; requiring governmental officials with a substantial interest in a real estate development project to verbally disclose such interest prior to first participating in any discussion, review or action on a proposed zoning change or permit; deleting a requirement that a person examining a state disclosure of financial interest shall disclose the person's name, address, occupation and phone number; amending K.S.A. 46-252 and 75- 4302a and repealing the existing section sections.

AI Summary

This bill requires elected or appointed city and county officials, as well as school district officials, to file an annual "statement of substantial interests," which is a disclosure of significant financial or business holdings, between April 15 and April 30 each year. For officials of other governmental subdivisions like townships or drainage districts, they only need to file this statement annually if their substantial interests have changed during the previous year. Additionally, any governmental official who has a substantial interest in a real estate development project must verbally disclose that interest at the first open meeting where a proposed zoning change or permit related to that project is discussed, reviewed, or acted upon, and they must do so before participating in any such discussion, review, or action. The bill also removes a previous requirement for individuals examining these financial interest statements to register their personal information.
