What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each executive officer to submit information to the Ethics

Commission regarding each appointment made by that officer. The bill requires that

the officer disclose whether the appointee is related to the officer, any head of a state

agency, any member of the officer's staff, any political party officer, or any elected

official. The bill also requires that the officer disclose whether the appointee has a

social relationship with the officer, whether the appointee has made contributions

to the governor, whether the appointee has entered into any contracts with the state,

and whether the officer has previously appointed the appointee to other offices.
