SUMMARY:

General Assembly; disclosure of office allowances. Requires members of the General Assembly who receive an allowance for unvouchered office expenses and supplies provided by the general appropriation act to keep a detailed and separate account of these funds and to file an annual disclosure statement. The disclosure statement must be filed with the State Board of Elections no later than January 8, which coincides with the date members must file their statements of economic interests with the Clerks of the House and Senate. The statement must include an account of all receipts and expenditures recorded during the preceding calendar year. Unexpended balances must be carried forward and accounted for in the next reporting period. The bill prohibits legislators from making expenditures from these funds to family members.
