BILL NUMBER:S384 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: Section 1 Amends the Legislative Law by adding a new section 2-a. Prohibits members of the legislature from engaging in outside activity for remuneration during his or her term of office. EXISTING LAW: None.

As long as we allow legislators to hold outside business interests, there is a potential that these outside business interests could one day cause a serious conflict of interest, or at least in the public's eye, the perception of one.
