Generally revise business disclosure statement requirements for elected officials and department directors
SB 492 revises the business disclosure statement requirements for statewide and state district elected officials, candidates for these offices, department directors, and individuals appointed to fill these positions. The bill modifies the thresholds for disclosing financial interests, requiring officials to report ownership of more than 10% in most businesses and real property (excluding personal residences), and more than 1% in publicly traded companies. It also clarifies the deadlines for filing these statements and allows individuals to certify if their previously submitted information has not changed. These disclosure statements are made available to the public.
