Reporting Sexual Harrasment and Other Misconduct

Anyone may report violations of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act or other misconduct committed by a State officer or employee by notifying a supervisor, ethics officer, or the appropriate Inspector General.  

Contact information for inspectors general, including email addresses and/or website information to report violations via email or online is linked here.
