Section 2.
KRS 6.686 is amended to read as follows:
(1) (a) The commission shall have jurisdiction to investigate and proceed as to any violation of this code upon the filing of a complaint.
The complaint shall be a written statement alleging a violation against one (1) or more named persons and stating the essential facts constituting the violation charged.
The complaint shall be made under oath and signed by the complaining party before a person who is legally empowered to administer oaths.
The commission shall have no jurisdiction in the absence of a complaint.
A member of the commission may file a complaint.
(b) Within ten (10) days of the filing of a complaint, the commission shall cause a copy of the complaint to be served by certified mail upon the person alleged to have committed the violation.
(c) Within twenty (20) days of service of the complaint the person alleged to have committed the violation may file an answer with the commission.
The filing of an answer is wholly permissive, and no inferences shall be drawn from the failure to file an answer.
(d) Not later than ten (10) days after the commission receives the answer, or the time expires for the filing of an answer, the commission shall initiate a preliminary inquiry into any alleged violation of this code.
If the commission determines upon the affirmative vote of at least five (5) members, at either a Page 1 of 20 XXXX Engrossed UNOFFICIAL COPY 20 RS SB 157/EN regularly scheduled meeting, or a teleconference meeting called upon the chair's oral or written notice to all members of the commission, that the complaint fails to state a claim of an ethics violation, the complaint shall be dismissed.
(e) Within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the inquiry, the commission shall give notice of the status of the complaint and a general statement of the applicable law to the person alleged to have committed a violation.
(f) A complaint may be filed against a former legislator, a former legislative agent, or a former employer of a legislative agent within one (1) year of the date he or she left office or terminated lobbying registration.
The one (1) year limitation shall not apply if a complaint alleges a violation of KRS 6.757.
(g) The applicable criminal statutes of limitation shall not apply to ethical misconduct under KRS 6.601 to 6.849.
(2) All commission proceedings, including the complaint and answer and other records relating to a preliminary inquiry, shall be confidential until a final determination is made by the commission, except:
(a) The commission may turn over to the Attorney General, the United States Attorney, Commonwealth's attorney, or county attorney of the jurisdiction in which the offense allegedly occurred, evidence which may be used in criminal proceedings;
and (b) If the complainant or alleged violator publicly discloses the existence of a preliminary inquiry, the commission may publicly confirm the existence of the inquiry and, in its discretion, make public any documents which were issued to either party.
(3) The commission shall afford a person who is the subject of a preliminary inquiry an opportunity to appear in response to the allegations in the complaint.
The person Page 2 of 20 XXXX Engrossed UNOFFICIAL COPY 20 RS SB 157/EN shall have the right to be represented by counsel, to appear and be heard under oath, and to offer evidence in response to the allegations in the complaint.
(4) If the commission determines by the answer or in the preliminary inquiry that the complaint does not allege facts sufficient to constitute a violation of this code, the commission shall immediately terminate the matter and notify in writing the complainant and the person alleged to have committed a violation.
The commission may confidentially inform the alleged violator of potential violations and provide information to ensure future compliance with the law.
If the alleged violator publicly discloses the existence of such action by the commission, the commission may confirm the existence of the action and, in its discretion, make public any documents that were issued to the alleged violator.
(5) If the commission, during the course of the preliminary inquiry, finds probable cause to believe that a violation of this code has occurred, the commission shall notify the alleged violator of the finding, and the commission may, upon majority vote:
(a) Due to mitigating circumstances such as lack of significant economic advantage or gain by the alleged violator, lack of significant economic loss to the state, or lack of significant impact on public confidence in government, confidentially reprimand, in writing, the alleged violator for potential violations of the law and provide a copy of the reprimand to the presiding officer of the house in which the alleged violator serves, or the alleged violator's employer, if the alleged violator is a legislative agent.
The proceedings leading to a confidential reprimand and the reprimand itself shall remain confidential except that, if the alleged violator publicly discloses the existence of such an action, the commission may confirm the existence of the action and, in its discretion, make public any documents which were issued to the alleged violator;
or Page 3 of 20 XXXX Engrossed UNOFFICIAL COPY 20 RS SB 157/EN (b) Initiate an adjudicatory proceeding to determine whether there has been a violation.
