The Prince George - Government Operations and Fiscal Policy Committee convened on September 25, 2025, to discuss key legislative matters, beginning with an important piece of legislation, CB68-2025, concerning the county's code of ethics.

The meeting commenced with the acknowledgment that both the chair and vice chair were absent due to county business. Mr. Tutt provided an overview of the proposed legislation, thanking the administration for their preparatory work.

CB68-2025 aims to amend the Prince George's County code to establish stricter ethical guidelines. Specifically, it seeks to prohibit former council members from assisting or representing another party for compensation in matters that are subject to legislative action by the county government for a period of three calendar years following their departure from office.

This proposed change is significant as it aims to enhance transparency and prevent potential conflicts of interest within the county's governance. The committee's discussions on this legislation are expected to continue, with further evaluations and potential amendments to be considered in future meetings.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the committee's commitment to upholding ethical standards in local governance, setting the stage for ongoing discussions about the implications of such legislative changes.
