HB 2352: Holding state officers and state employees to the same conflict of interest standard that is required of municipal officers.

What this bill does

Aligns state ethics laws with municipal ethics laws regarding conflicts of interests in contracting by making it a violation of state ethics laws for a state officer or employee to have a beneficial interest in a contract, sale, lease, purchase, or grant to which the state officer or employee is not a party but has an ownership interest of 1 percent or more, rather than 10 percent or more, in an entity that is a party to the transaction.
