Newly Published Rulemaking Changes

The amendments to Title 3 DCMR clarified that confidential filers must file their FDS on the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability website and with the agency Ethics Counselor (Section 5704). It also added to the list of those who are considered public officials for purposes of financial disclosure and are, therefore, required to electronically file a Public Financial Disclosure Statement with the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability (Section 5710). The Board voted to adopt these rules as final on September 12, 2024. The rules became effective upon publication of the Notice of Final Rulemaking in the D.C. Register on Friday September 27, 2024 at 71 DCMR 011602-011605.
