Announcements

The NYS Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) has issued a reminder regarding regulations for state employees contracting with state agencies. Employees who have outside businesses and wish to sell their goods or services to a state agency should be aware of the restrictions that are outlined in this reminder to avoid potential fines associated with violations of the Public Officers Law. Certain restrictions apply to the spouses of state employees as well. Questions about the Public Officers Law should be referred to Susan Earshen, ethics officer.
