AN ACT INCREASING VARIOUS MONETARY THRESHOLDS UNDER THE STATE CODES OF ETHICS.

SB 1227 increases the dollar thresholds that trigger ethics reporting requirements for state officials under the State Codes of Ethics. This means public employees and elected officials will no longer need to report smaller gifts, expenses, or financial transactions that previously exceeded lower limits. The bill directly affects state legislators, agency staff, and others covered by ethics rules who must disclose financial interests. It passed the Senate on May 28, 2025, and is now pending in the House for further consideration.
