Colorado Politics: Democratic state lawmakers are on their fourth attempt to expand the jurisdiction of the state’s independent ethics commission. House Bill 1079 won a party-line vote in the House Transportation, Housing, and Local Government Committee on Wednesday.
House Bill 1079 would add school board members and their direct hires for 178 school districts, such as superintendents and boards of the state’s more than 3,000 special districts and their direct hires, to the jurisdiction of the state’s independent ethics commission.
It would not apply to charter school boards, which are appointed and not elected.
