Post-Employment Restrictions for Members of the Legislature

Generic Advisory Opinion

The Legislative Ethics Commission has approved generic advice on the topic listed below. The guidance offered is general in nature and the Commission's response to individual questions may vary according to the facts of each particular request. You are strongly advised to consult Commission staff or your counsel's office for advice pertaining to your individual situation.

The Public Employees Reform Act of 2007 did not change the post employment restrictions which apply to members of the legislature. Members are prohibited from promoting or opposing the passage of legislation in either house of the legislature for compensation for two years after they terminate their legislative service.
