The 79th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 914, which
establishes new conflict-of-interest disclosure requirements
for local government officers. That bill was recently
codified in the Texas Local Government Code and goes into
effect on January 1, 2006. The new law requires school board
members and superintendents to file conflicts disclosure
statements revealing certain relationships they may have
with vendors doing business or seeking to do business with
their school districts. It also mandates that trustees and
superintendents report certain gifts received from current
vendors and those seeking to become vendors.
The Texas Ethics Commission promotes public
confidence in electoral and governmental processes by
enforcing, administering, and training state officers and
employees on applicable laws governing standards of conduct,
personal financial disclosure, lobby registration and
activities, political contributions and expenditures, and
political advertising. For more information, visit the
Texas Ethics Commission website.
