B 26-0325 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Board of Ethics and Government Accountability Authority Clarification Amendment Act of 2025

This bill clarifies the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability's authority to require certain government employees to file public financial disclosures. It removes language that previously required the Board to formally designate "additional employees" through a rule-making process for roles involving contracting, procurement, grants, policy development, or areas with potential conflicts of interest. The change streamlines the process, allowing the Board to directly require disclosures from these employees without needing separate rulemaking. This directly affects District government staff in specified high-risk roles, ensuring clearer disclosure requirements under existing ethics rules.
