A bill to regulate political activity; to require certain state officials to file certain reports; to prescribe penalties and civil sanctions; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state officers and entities.
Known as the "Turks and Caicos act," this bill requires certain state officials to file annual financial disclosure reports from September 1, 2024. These reports must detail personal employment, gifts over $50, and travel expenses over $500 not already covered by existing lobbyist reporting laws. The bill clarifies definitions for terms like "gift," "immediate family member," "lobbyist," and "state official," and specifies the information required in the disclosures, including the nature, donor, value, and date of gifts.
