Bars certain public officials from holding elective office and participating in political activities for certain time periods.
This bill bars state prosecutors, the Attorney General, First Assistant Attorney General, and members of the State Commission of Investigation from campaigning for other elected offices while serving in their current roles. It requires these officials to wait three years after leaving their positions before running for elected office, extending the existing one-year ban for Commission members to match other covered positions. The bill does not apply to municipal prosecutors. It prohibits these officials from signing campaign materials or holding party positions during service and after their term ends.
