Bill > SJR016

This joint resolution modifies the rules governing legislative ethics and the adjudication of ethics complaints, primarily by amending existing rules related to the Independent Legislative Ethics Commission (ILEC) and ethics committees. Key changes include clarifying the composition and appointment process for the ILEC, specifying the grounds and timelines for filing ethics complaints, and outlining procedures for reviewing, responding to, and adjudicating these complaints. The resolution also addresses the powers of chairs, subpoena authority, the privacy of complaints, and the process for making recommendations and public disclosures. Notably, it refines the requirements for complaint filings, including the format of affidavits and the information witnesses must provide, and clarifies when and how ethics committee meetings can be closed to the public.
