Senate Ethics and Elections
Summary:
The Ethics and Elections Committee met with a quorum present and Senator Polsky excused. The committee first considered Senate Bill 964, sponsored by Senator Wright on behalf of Senator Linda Stewart, which revises reporting requirements for certain gifts and honoraria. The bill implements Commission on Ethics recommendations to clarify that reporting individuals must file Form 10 paper forms with the Commission, rather than attaching them to electronic financial disclosures. Carrie Stillman, executive director of the Ethics Commission, testified in support, explaining that the change will align the statute with current filing practice and allow the Commission to update its rules and forms.
After brief discussion and no opposition, SB 964 was approved unanimously and reported favorably. The committee then took up Tabs 2 through 15, a group of confirmation appointments that had been provided in advance and were not requested for separate consideration. On motion and second, the committee approved all of the nominees together by unanimous roll call vote and reported them favorably to the Senate.
With no further business, the committee adjourned after a final motion to rise was adopted unanimously.
