Revolving Door

The Ethics Act requires the OEIG to determine whether certain State employees, appointees, and officials are restricted from accepting specific employment opportunities or compensation upon leaving State government. Generally, revolving door restrictions under the Ethics Act are intended to prevent former public servants who participated in contracting, licensing, or regulatory decisions from accepting employment from an entity that was directly implicated in those decisions. In order for the OEIG to make a revolving door determination, certain current and former state employees are required to notify the OEIG when offered employment or compensation from a non-state employer.
