A 385 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Creates an assembly standing committee on ethics and guidance

This bill creates a new 8-member standing committee within the assembly to handle ethics matters, directly affecting assembly members and staff. The committee replaces the previous ethics committee, with members appointed equally by the speaker and minority leader, and is tasked with reviewing ethics policies, investigating complaints, and implementing mandatory conduct training. Key provisions include requiring all ethics complaints to be reported to the committee within five days, conducting investigations with confidentiality, and developing annual reports on committee activities. The committee will also recommend policy changes to the speaker and minority leader regarding member conduct and ethics standards.
