CT HB07325

Removes state marshals from the requirement to file full statements of financial interests with the Office of State Ethics, effective October 1, 2019.

State-wide elected officers, General Assembly members, department heads, quasi-public agency directors, and Investment Advisory Council members must continue filing annual statements of financial interests by May 1st covering the preceding calendar year.

Statements must disclose businesses, income sources over $1,000, securities exceeding $5,000, real property, debts over $10,000, state contracts, and affiliations with lobbyists and businesses seeking state contracts.

Individuals leaving office or position must file statements covering only the portion of the year they held that position within 60 days of departure notification.

Securities held in retirement savings plans, individual retirement accounts, deferred compensation plans, or education savings plans exceeding $5,000 require only disclosure of the plan name, not the individual security names.
