Commission on Ethics approves consent order for Nye County Commissioner Ron Boskovich
Summary
The Nevada Commission on Ethics accepted a stipulated consent order finding a willful disclosure violation by Nye County Commissioner Ron Boskovich and placed the matter on a one-year compliance period that could reduce the finding to non‑willful if he meets conditions.
The Nevada Commission on Ethics voted unanimously to accept a stipulated agreement and consent order resolving ethics complaint 24-130C concerning Ron Boskovich, a member of the Nye County Commission.
The commission’s executive director, Ross Armstrong, told commissioners the complaint, filed Aug. 26, 2024, alleged improper use of office involving Boskovich’s ex‑spouse and daughter, both of whom are county employees. Armstrong said Boskovich agreed to waive a review panel and that the parties negotiated the consent order, which includes a finding of a single willful violation of the disclosure requirements in NRS 281A.420(1). Armstrong said the commission will monitor compliance for one year; if Boskovich demonstrates continued compliance the finding would be reduced to a non‑willful violation.
The stipulation requires Boskovich to seek an advisory opinion from the commission for future questions about interactions involving his relatives and to complete Nevada ethics training through the state’s online program. Rebecca Brouwer, counsel for Boskovich, said Boskovich “truly wanted to be in compliance” and appreciated the assistance he received from staff.
A motion to accept the stipulation was made and the commission counsel was directed to finalize the document in appropriate legal form. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
The commission explained this consent order differs from a deferral agreement: it records a willful violation initially, but contemplates reduction to non‑willful after successful monitoring rather than dismissal without a finding. Armstrong noted staff had observed Boskovich making appropriate disclosures at subsequent Nye County Commission meetings.
The commission did not place additional monetary penalties in the announced terms. The record reflects the compliance and training requirements and the one‑year monitoring period as the principal sanctions.
The meeting record shows no further action on this item after commissioners approved the stipulation.
