Who we serve
The State Ethics Commission serves the public by fostering integrity in government. The independent agency provides free advice to all public employees on the conflict of interest law, and civilly enforces this law.

Commission seeks outside views on draft advisory on gifts and gratuities
The State Ethics Commission has preliminarily approved a draft advisory explaining how the conflict of interest law applies when a public employee is offered a gift, meal, entertainment, travel expenses or other things of value. This advisory updates and replaces a previous advisory on gifts and gratuities. The advisory is informational in nature; it does not have the force of law.
The Commission is releasing this draft advisory to seek outside viewpoints to help ensure it is a useful and effective educational resource. The advisory, with any revisions, will be brought back to the Commission for final approval at an upcoming Commission meeting. The draft advisory may be found here.
If you have any comments or suggestions about this draft advisory, please contact Eve Slattery, General Counsel, no later than Monday, October 28, 2019 by email at: eve.slattery@mass.gov. Please caption your email “Draft Advisory.”
