Ethics commission committee backs plan to prioritize make-up training for 2024–25 delinquents
Summary
The education committee endorsed a staff proposal asking state agencies to submit remediation plans that prioritize make‑up, live training in early 2026 for employees who missed mandatory ethics training in 2024–25 rather than forcing duplicated sessions for the same workers.
The Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government’s education committee on March 14 agreed by consensus to ask agencies to submit plans to bring employees who missed mandatory ethics training in 2024 and 2025 up to date in early 2026. Chair Edwards said the committee did not need a formal vote because “there’s a consensus among the committee members that we support this proposal.”
Executive Director Sandy Burland told commissioners staff had concluded it would be impractical to require agencies to make the entire workforce take duplicate training in one year. Burland said it would be "more practical and make more sense, instead to require agencies to provide our training unit with their plan" to prioritize those who missed prior years and then bring the remainder of the workforce into compliance during 2026.
The committee asked staff to circulate a clearer implementation outline and measurable milestones before the full commission meeting in April. Commissioners said they want to track both immediate make‑up efforts and the broader two‑ to three‑year strategy so the commission can measure progress against specific objectives.
