Mississippi Clean Government and Public Integrity Act

This bill strengthens Mississippi’s ethics and anti-corruption laws by requiring elected officials, senior agency employees, and state contract decision-makers to file more detailed annual financial disclosure reports, including major sources of income, business interests, and immediate family ties to state vendors; prohibiting participation in contract awards or oversight where a direct financial conflict exists; increasing civil and criminal penalties for knowingly steering public contracts for personal benefit; mandating prompt public posting of disclosures and contract conflict recusals; and directing the Mississippi Ethics Commission to issue uniform compliance guidance and referral standards to improve enforcement and restore public trust in state government.
