MEMORANDUM

Posted: September 29, 2015 11:14 AM
From: Senator John N. Wozniak
To: All Senate members
Subject: Nepotism in Government
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation amending Title 65 (Public Officers) prohibiting nepotism in the hiring practices in the following offices:

Judicial officer
Executive level State employee - Member of the Governor's Cabinet
Legislator – member of the Senate or House of Representatives

A legislator, judicial officer or executive-level State employee may not appoint, employ, promote, advance or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion or advancement of an immediate family to a position in which the legislator, judicial officer or executive-level State employee is elected, sworn and seated. Nor may a member of a legislator, judicial officer or executive-level State employee’s immediate family be appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced to a position in the respective legislative chamber, court, or executive branch/department to which they are elected, appointed, sworn and seated.

Please join me in co-sponsoring this important legislation. If you have questions about the legislation, please contact my office at 717-787-5400.

Introduced as SB1087
