Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This bill would rename the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission to the Georgia Ethics Commission.  It would also reconstitute the membership of the commission so that three members of the commission are appointed by the Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court and two appointed by the Chief Judge of the Georgia Court of Appeals. Currently, all five are appointed by the Governor.  It also bars anyone who has been a registered lobbyist within the previous five years from being appointed. makes procedural changes relative to complaints, and provides for funding.
