Republican state lawmakers announced a new ethics bill titled the Ohio Ethics and Financial Disclosure Reform Act.
The bill would require all lobbying income to be reported and sourced directly to the clients they represent.
The bill would also prohibit elected officials from getting paid to serve on corporate boards unless the seat was held prior to taking office and the official has ownership in the corporation.
Nominees hoping to serve on the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) will have to disclose any income, previous business relationships, or ties to entities regulated by the PUC.
The bill does not have a number and has not been formally introduced.
