A Resolution adopting Ethical Conduct Rules of the Senate.
This resolution adopts new ethical rules for the Pennsylvania Senate, directly affecting Senators and Senate employees. It prohibits using Senate work time, offices, or resources for campaign activities like organizing events or preparing campaign materials. Employees may only do campaign work during personal time, and those reducing work hours for campaigns must document it in writing. The rules also define key terms like "campaign activity" and clarify that minor campaign-related tasks during official duties (e.g., answering public inquiries) may be unavoidable.
