The Senate unanimously approved a ethics reform measure contained in Senate Bill (SB) 114. Senate and House members worked together to also include several components of the House-passed ethics bill, House Bill (HB) 1001. This bi-partisan, bi-cameral proposal includes numerous provisions including one which would reduce the amount of reportable single gifts or total daily gifts from a lobbyist to a legislator from $100 to $50. In addition, the bill would extend the waiting period to one year before elected state officials and political appointees could become lobbyists.
