Welcome to the New York State Commission on Public Integrity. Here, you will find information about our mission and how we do our work. This information includes the text of many of our publications, access to our on-line applications, and information about the members of the Commission. There also are links to the relevant laws and regulations, as well as to our advisory opinions.
Our primary objective is to prevent violations before they occur. One of our most important duties is to advise State officers and employees, as well as lobbyists and their clients, about how the law affects them. We urge you to utilize our services and seek the Commission's guidance, whether by phone or letter or formal opinion. Agency managers or trainers as well as lobbyists and their clients, should contact us to arrange ethics or lobbying training.
The Commission also administers the Financial Disclosure Statement program and the Lobbyist On-Line Registration Application. Contact us with any of your questions.
Finally, the Commission is authorized to investigate possible violations of law. Call, write or e-mail us if you think you have evidence of a violation. You do not have to use your name, but if you tell us how to contact you, it will help us in our investigation.
We hope that this home page provides the information you need to understand the role of the Commission in maintaining the public's faith in State government. Thank you for visiting.
Herbert Teitelbaum
Executive Director
