PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Nevada Commission on Ethics' mission is to enhance the faith and confidence of Nevadans in the integrity and impartiality of government, specifically state and local public officers and
employees. The eight-member commission is tasked with numerous responsibilities, but its five-person staff focuses on four main functions: 1) interpreting and applying NRS Chapter 281A
- the Ethics in Government Laws - and guiding public officers and employees on its provisions; 2) investigating and adjudicating public complaints alleging ethics violations by public
officers and employees; 3) outreach and education to public officers and employees to enhance their awareness of ethics requirements and prohibitions under Nevada law; and 4) accepting
and monitoring various filings required of certain public officers.
