Tom Harrison, Executive Director, called the roll. Motion by Chairman Slack to excuse Commissioners Cribbs and Johnson from the meeting. Motion passed by unanimous consent. All Commissioners were present except Commissioners Cribbs and Johnson. The annual personal financial statement form has been given to each Commissioner.
Today is the last day to file a legislative bill.
Each Commissioner has been given updated information concerning ethics legislation. Most ethics bills have not been set for hearing, and most of the ethics bills in the House Elections Committee will probably be set for hearing on the same day. Chairman Slack responded with questions. In response to Commissioner Glossbrenner's request, the Commissioners will be informed about each bill's hearing date and to which committee it has been assigned as soon as the agency receives the information. Commissioners might want to attend the hearings to serve as a resource witness, but attendance by the Commissioners is not imperative.
