Bill > H2896

This bill amends Chapter 268A of the General Laws, which is the conflict of interest law, to require that every county and municipal employee receive a summary of this law within 30 days of starting their employment and whenever the law changes, and they must sign a written acknowledgment that they have received this summary. The State Ethics Commission, which is the body responsible for overseeing ethics in government, will prepare these summaries. This change aims to ensure that all local government employees are aware of the rules governing their conduct to avoid conflicts of interest.
