Subcommittee Report On The Establishment Of A State Ethics Commission, Jim Noel, Leonard Sanchez, Stuart Bluestone, Kathy Mccoy, Brad Winter, John Carey

Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)

The establishment of a State Ethics Commission relates directly to ethics reform in the state of New Mexico. Such a commission does not exist in New Mexico, the establishment of which would represent a tangible and concrete manifestation of a state commitment to ethics reform, as well as the top-down expectation that state officials (elected or otherwise) will be held to the highest standard of conduct in the performance of their duties. In addition, while New Mexico does have statutory proscriptions against certain kinds or conduct or requiring other kinds of conduct (i.e., the Government Conduct Act, the Procurement Act, …

Discussion Group Report: Prevention & Enforcement, Jim Noel, Stuart Bluestone, John Carey, Zachary Shandler

Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)

New Mexico has a mix of ethical canons and statutes, including the Government Conduct Act, the Procurement Code, Financial Disclosure Act, and others. The Judicial branch has its own code of conduct, as does the Legislative branch. The Government Conduct Act encourages Executive branch agencies to develop and maintain agency specific codes of conduct.

Discussion Group Report: Campaign Finance, Matt Brix, Brad Winter, Andrew Montgomery

Existing laws governing campaign finance in New Mexico focus on reporting requirements, limits on campaign spending, …
