Mission

The Ethics Act, became effective on January 1, 1979 and was updated in 1989, 1998, and 2006.  The Ethics Act created the Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission (“Ethics Commission”).  Since 1979,  the Ethics Commission has worked hard to strengthen the public's trust in state and local government.  Throughout its history, the Ethics Commission has been guided by the principle that the public’s trust in government is violated when a public official or a public employee uses their public position to get financial gain that is not allowed by law.
