Legislation implementing recent ethics reforms made by the Orange County Commission passed in the Florida House today. House Bill (HB) 985 brings key enforcement provisions of the ethics reforms into effect by creating a required public records exemption for complaints until probable cause is found.

“Ethics reform has been an important issue in Orange County over the last couple of years. Our County Commission worked hard to pass stricter disclosure and ethics standards which will both ensure more accountability for local government and inspire greater confidence from taxpayers,” said Eisnaugle.

HB 985 passed unanimously in the Florida House 109 – 0.
