Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This legislation amends the Ethics in Government Act in many areas, particularly to charges, hearings and evidence before the ethics commission, and penalties for violations. Of possible concern to county commissioners is that campaign contribution disclosure reports can only be filed on paper (for a $40 fee) or directly on the ethics commission's Web site. Candidates may no longer file with their local election superintendent. ACCG would like to have all the aforementioned methods available to candidates. |
