CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : SACRAMENTO : State Senate Passes Ethics Reforms
The state Senate unanimously passed a legislative ethics reform package, including a ban on honorariums and gifts valued at more than $250 from special interests and strengthening of prohibitions against conflict of interest. The proposal is linked to voter enactment in June of a separate ballot proposition approved by the Legislature last year that would create a new state agency to set lawmaker salaries. The package sailed out of the Senate to the Assembly, which is expected to act next week on a similar ethics program.
