The Board of Ethics was established by
the Governor in 1969 by executive order to
advise on individual cases in which State
officers or employees might have conflicts |
of interest. The Board consists of nine mem-
bers of whom eight are appointed by the
Governor for four year terms from the gen-
eral public who are not subject to the Code
of Ethics. The Secretary of Personnel is an
ex officio member. The Governor designates
the Chairman. The Board appoints the Ex-
ecutive Secretary.
The Board has the power to recommend
orders, rules, regulations and changes in the
Code of Ethics. The Board also has the
power to render advisory opinions to offi-
cers and employees of the State or any of
its agencies with respect to the applicability
of the Code of Ethics. The Board also in-
vestigates and reports upon alleged viola-
tions of the Code upon the request of au-
thorized officials.
The same Executive Order also estab-
lished the Code of Ethics for all executive
branch officers and employees in areas of
possible conflicts between private interests
and official duties as State employees (Code
1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sec. 14A). |
