Bill > H2821

This bill amends Chapter 268A of the General Laws, which likely pertains to ethics and conflicts of interest for public officials, by adding a new provision that addresses the employment of former members of the General Court, which refers to the Massachusetts state legislature. Specifically, it introduces a restriction for current or former legislators who are employed by the Commonwealth or any state agency within one year of leaving the General Court. However, this restriction has exceptions: it does not apply to former members who are employed by the General Court itself or those appointed by the governor. The act is set to become effective 366 days after its passage, providing a grace period before the new rules take effect.
