Conflicting Employment or Contractual Relationships for Public Officers or Employees (Monitor)

HB 199 (Hunschofsky), SB 620 (DiCeglie) and HB 241 (Daley) would remove a current law exemption in the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees for officers of certain special taxing districts created by general or special law relating to conflicting employment and contractual relationships. The effect of the revision would make such officers subject to the prohibition against holding conflicting employment or contractual relationships. In addition, HB 241 would require ethics training for elected local officers of independent special districts. (O'Hara)
