New York has expanded the ethics training requirements as part of the new Ethics Reform Act of 2022.

Lobbyists, contractual clients, and beneficial clients will now be required to take the new Ethics for Lobbyists and Clients online course available January 18.

For purposes of training compliance by organizations, the chief administrative officer is responsible for taking the training on behalf of the organization.

Those registered before the course launch will have until March 18 to complete training.

In order to avoid duplicate training, co-lobbyists and sub-lobbyists listed on a 2023-2024 Statement of Registration will not be required to take the training until they submit their own registration.
