BILL NUMBER: S3149
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to prohibiting
outside work by a legislator during the term of office
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
Prohibits a member of the legislature from engaging in any outside
paid activity during his or her term of office
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 2-a to read
that members are prohibited from engaging in outside activity for
renumeration while in office.
JUSTIFICATION :
How much transparency should be demanded by the people of their
representatives? As long as we allow legislators to hold outside
business interests, there is a potential that these outside business
interests could one day come into conflict. This could create a
situation, or at least in the public's eye, the perception of one.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
New bill.
