Council delays expanded financial-disclosure requirement for 45 boards and commissions
Summary
The Council approved an emergency declaration and temporary measure to delay implementation of expanded financial disclosure requirements identified by the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability (BAGA) until committee review in January.
The Council adopted an emergency declaration and an accompanying temporary bill to delay implementation of an expanded set of annual financial-disclosure requirements for roughly 45 boards and commissions identified by the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability.
Chair Mendelson summarized the background: BAGA adopted rulemaking adding approximately 45 bodies to annual financial disclosure requirements; the Council acted earlier in May to delay implementation while legislation is considered. The Council scheduled a Committee of the Whole hearing in January and passed the emergency declaration and temporary legislation unanimously to avoid a gap in the law while the Council completes review.
