Bill Summary
Requiring an applicant for appointment as a commissioner of a bicounty commission to submit a certain statement to the Prince George's County Office of Ethics and Accountability; requiring the chief administrative officer for Prince George's County to transmit the financial disclosure statements of commissioners or appointed applicants of bicounty commissions to the Office; and requiring the Office, rather than the chief administrative officer for Prince George's County, to take certain actions regarding the statements.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for financial disclosure statements for commissioners of bicounty commissions, which are governmental bodies composed of representatives from two counties. Specifically, it mandates that applicants for these commissioner positions in Prince George's County must submit their financial disclosure statements directly to the Prince George's County Office of Ethics and Accountability. Furthermore, the bill shifts the responsibility for transmitting these financial disclosure statements from the chief administrative officer of Prince George's County to the Prince George's County Office of Ethics and Accountability, and also designates this office, alongside the executive director of the bicounty commission and the chief administrative officer for Montgomery County, as entities responsible for retaining these statements for the duration of a commissioner's term and making them available to the public.
