CS/HB 199 (Hunschofsky) and CS/SB 620 (DiCeglie) would maintain the 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 bills also clarify that certain conduct is still prohibited regardless of the exemption, such as misuse of public position and disclosing information that is not otherwise available to the public for their own personal benefit. The bills require elected local officers of independent special districts to undergo four hours of annual ethics training. (O'Hara)
