Grants respondents in investigations the right to independent legal counsel paid for by the Legislative Equity Officer, the right to discover and inspect all evidence, and the right to depose witnesses interviewed during the investigation

Raises the standard of proof for factual findings from unspecified to "beyond a reasonable doubt" when findings directly bear on whether prohibited conduct occurred

Provides respondents who are legislators the right to appeal remedial measures to Marion County Circuit Court for de novo judicial review, with remedial measures stayed pending final disposition of the appeal
