May 13, 2013: Contact Senate Members now on Ethics Reform. We are even closer to passing Ethics Reform in 2013. After H.3945 made the cross over deadline to the Senate, the Senate subcommittee did a strike and insert, replacing House bill H.3945 with their own. Although the draft was not originally made available for public review, the bill does appear to be a major improvement to the House version. Income disclosure would be more complete, disciplinary decisions would be more transparent, and the existing Ethics Commission would be expanded.

We are asking the Senate to: "Support H.3945 as is and oppose amendments that would weaken reform." Please contact your Senator today. Visit the LWVSC website for more information on this important effort.
