Nevada Commission on Ethics approves stipulated agreement with Charles Green in case 24-109C
Summary
The commission accepted a settlement resolving allegations that Charles Green failed to disclose and abstain during a matter in which the Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners discussed compensating him; the agreement includes a suspended portion of a $500 penalty, admonishment and conditions if he returns to public service.
The Nevada Commission on Ethics on Feb. 20 approved a stipulated agreement to resolve Complaint No. 24-109C concerning Charles Green, who served as secretary-treasurer of the Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners.
Commission staff said the commission initiated the complaint on Aug. 8, 2024 and the review panel referred the matter to the commission on Oct. 17, 2024. The allegations, as presented at the meeting, were that Green did not appropriately disclose or abstain during a board meeting at which the board considered compensating him for his services.
Commission staff summarized the agreement’s terms: the commission will record one non-willful violation of the cited statute (as referenced during the meeting), impose a $500 monetary penalty of which $250 is suspended, require Green to provide the board the information and materials needed for its work, note that he no longer serves on the board, require completion of training should he return to public service, and issue an admonishment as part of the stipulated agreement. Staff also noted that a statutory provision governing the board specifically allows payment to the secretary‑treasurer, and that process and meeting‑operation shortcomings likely contributed to the failure to disclose.
Matt Tanner, attorney for Charles Green, told the commission he and his client “are all good with it.” Jacob/Russell Armstrong (presenting for the commission) thanked Commissioner Loughry for serving as settlement commissioner.
Commissioner Miller moved to accept the terms of the stipulated agreement and directed commission counsel to formalize it in legal form; the motion passed with the transcript recording: "Passes 5 to 0, with commissioners Mister Lowery and Vice Chair Wallen abstaining." The commission recorded the agreement and directed staff to complete the formal documentation.
The stipulated agreement resolves the ethics complaint without a contested hearing and includes both a monetary penalty and non‑monetary conditions intended to address the failure to disclose. The transcript indicates the Department of Business and Industry is also working on related matters.
The commission’s action on this stipulated agreement was taken in open session after counsel and parties identified themselves and the settlement commissioner’s role was described.
Votes at the meeting also included approval of meeting minutes from Jan. 16, 2025 (recorded as passing with two abstentions).
