For legislation relative to former state employees and elected officials. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 5(e) of Chapter 268A, which deals with state ethics laws, by removing an existing subsection and replacing it with new language. The core change is to clarify and expand the restrictions on former state employees and elected officials, including former legislators and high-ranking executive branch officials, from acting as a "legislative or executive agent" for any entity other than the Commonwealth or a state agency. This restriction applies if they are attempting to influence the governmental body they were previously associated with, and it is in effect for three years after they leave their public service position. The term "legislative or executive agent" refers to someone acting on behalf of another party to influence government actions or decisions.
