Bill > S0846

This bill clarifies that certain ethics rules, known as the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees, will apply to members of the executive council of the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation, which is an organization that helps clerks of court manage their operations. It also mandates that elected officials in cities must complete yearly ethics training to ensure they understand and follow ethical standards. Furthermore, the bill prohibits individuals from lobbying, which means attempting to influence decisions, for a water management district until they have officially registered as lobbyists. Finally, it extends the applicability of these ethics rules to the president, senior managers, and board members of Enterprise Florida, Inc., a public-private partnership that aims to promote economic development in Florida.
