SUMMARY
This amendment removes the requirement that Legislators and certain executive branch employees disclose the range of income derived from each source with respect to income earned by immediate family members of Legislators and certain executive branch employees. It also removes the requirement that Legislators and certain executive branch employees disclose certain real property and investment interests. It provides that statements filed by executive branch employees regarding positions held by those employees and their immediate family members must be filed with the Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices rather than with the Secretary of State.
