Ethics Commission to consider amendments to new rules The Ethics Commission will consider a series of proposed amendments to its new rules during upcoming meetings that will be submitted to the Legislature for consideration in 2015. The commission held a series of public meetings in 2013 before submitting a completely rewritten version of its rules to the Legislature at the start of the 2014 session. Those rules were adopted when the Legislature did not take action to disapprove or amend them before adjourning sine die. The new rules, largely, do not take effect until Jan. 1, 2015, to allow the current election cycle to be completed under one consistent set of guidelines. Ethics Commission Executive Director Lee Slater said several specific issues had been brought to his attention, including the treatment of political parties, the commission’s abilities to assess fees and possible punishments for those who commit mid-level rules infractions.
