Mission Statement
The New York State Commission on Public Integrity, established by the Public Employee Ethics Reform Act of 2007, is charged with administering and enforcing the State's ethics and lobbying laws as well as the State's anti-nepotism law and laws pertaining to certain political activities and improper influence. Building upon the strong foundations established by the New York Temporary State Commission on Lobbying and the New York State Ethics Commission, the Act transferred all powers, duties, functions and staff of both former Commissions to the Commission on Public Integrity. Our mission is to insure compliance with the ethical standards that public officials and lobbyists must observe in order to ensure public trust and confidence in government.
