Abstract

This chapter covers Article XXIX of the Colorado Constitution on ethics in government. The article was added by citizens’ initiative in 2006. Its essential purpose was to outlaw gifts defined in Section 3 to public officers, employees, and their families. The section’s stricter ban allows no gift of any value by lobbyists except for campaign contributions; it specifically outlaws meals and beverages. Enforcement is committed to an Independent Ethics Commission (IEC) appointed as specified in Section 5. Since undertaking enforcement of the amendment, IEC has issued numerous decisions. Rulings are often responses to anticipatory requests by public officials, but some address attempts to discredit political opponents.
政府操守
本章涵盖科罗拉多州宪法关于政府道德的第二十九条。该条款是2006年由公民倡议增加的。它的基本目的是禁止第三条规定的向公职人员、雇员及其家属赠送礼物。该条款更严格的禁令不允许游说者提供任何有价值的礼物,除了竞选捐款;它特别禁止食物和饮料。执法工作由第5节指定的独立道德操守委员会负责。自从执行该修正案以来,独立选举委员会已发布了许多决定。裁决通常是对政府官员预期请求的回应,但有些裁决是针对抹黑政治对手的企图。
