Mission
Established in 2007 by the merger of the State Ethics Commission and the Temporary State Commission on Lobbying, the Commission on Public Integrity is charged with the responsibility of administering and enforcing the State’s ethics and lobbying statutes along with anti-nepotism laws and the New York State "little Hatch Act." Building upon the strong foundations established by the Temporary State Commission on Lobbying and the State Ethics Commission, the new Commission combines all powers, duties, functions, and staff of both Commissions into a single independent agency to ensure compliance with the ethical standards that public officials and lobbyists must observe in order to foster public trust and confidence in government.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends over $5.1 million General Fund for the Commission on Public Integrity. This is a decrease of $0.7 million from the 2008-09 budget, reflecting administrative efficiencies, and savings achieved through the use of technology. For 2009-10, the Commission will have a workforce of 55 FTEs.
