SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act; disclosure statements; multiple positions. Provides that only one disclosure statement per calendar year is required under the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act for an individual who, subsequent to filing the required disclosure statement for the individual's current position or office, holds or seeks a different position or office that also requires the filing of a disclosure statement. An individual who has filed the required statement and is reappointed to the same position or office is not required to file a second statement if the reappointment occurs within 12 months of the earlier filing.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act; disclosure statements; multiple positions. Clarifies that an individual required to file a disclosure statement under the provisions of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act must file a new disclosure statement if, subsequent to filing the disclosure statement for the individual's current position or office, such individual holds or seeks a position or office that also requires the filing of a disclosure statement, unless the reporting period for both filings are identical. The bill provides that any individual who has met the requirement for filing a disclosure statement shall not be required to file an additional disclosure statement upon reappointment to the same office or position if the reappointment occurs within 12 months of the filing; currently, certain officers and employees reappointed to the same office or position must file new disclosure statements if the reappointment occurs more than six months after the filing.
