If you are a State Employee
Thank you for visiting the Executive Ethics Commission’s website.
State Employees are required to follow certain rules and regulations established to foster ethical conduct.
Ethics Act Requirements - The State Officials and Employees Ethics Act contains restrictions regarding many aspects of a State employee’s conduct including those relating to the receipt of gifts, future employment opportunities, and political involvement. Please review the Act in order to become more familiar with the limitations and restrictions placed upon State employees.
Founded Reports - As a result of situations where the Act is not followed, the Executive Ethics Commission (“EEC”) publishes disciplinary decisions and Office of Executive Inspector General (“OEIG”) founded reports for state employee violations of the State Officials and Employee Ethics Act. These disciplinary decisions and reports are available on this site at Decisions, Reports, and Appeals.
Administrative Rules - If you become involved in an investigation or disciplinary case before the Executive Ethics Commission, you may want to review applicable Rules regarding the Commission’s hearing, determination, and investigation procedures. Please review the Commission’s Rules.
