Bill > H2909

This bill, aimed at improving public confidence in government integrity, modifies existing financial disclosure requirements for public officials, employees, and candidates. Specifically, it amends Chapter 268B of the General Laws by redefining "amount" to use broad value categories instead of exact dollar figures, such as "greater than one thousand dollars but not greater than one hundred thousand dollars," and by mandating that all Statements of Financial Interest filed after 1990 must be made publicly available online by July 31, 2014. These changes are intended to make financial disclosures more accessible and understandable to the public.
