Committee introduces measure to require disclosure of outside-paid out-of-state travel by officeholders
Summary
Representative Stephanie Mickelson introduced RS 32,456, a draft requiring disclosure within 30 days of out-of-state travel paid for by outside parties; committee voted to introduce the measure for hearing.
Representative Stephanie Mickelson introduced RS 32,456 to the House State Affairs Committee, describing the draft as a straightforward disclosure requirement for out-of-state travel paid by outside parties. “All this bill does is simply require that if you're going to have out of state travel, paid for by an outside party, that you would have to disclose that,” Mickelson said. The draft requires filing of a disclosure within 30 days but places no limit on the amount of travel.
Representative Pohanka moved to introduce RS 32,456 and the committee approved the motion by voice vote. Committee members had no further discussion at the time and the draft will be scheduled for a hearing, where staff expect more questions about filing mechanics and enforcement.
