Prognosis

Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Based on stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes, and cross-state momentum — a description of the observable signals, not a prediction.

In plain language

The bill restricts certain employment offers to prevent conflicts of interest.

This legislation amends the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act to prevent employers from offering jobs to individuals restricted by revolving door prohibitions. It empowers ethics commissions to enforce these rules and impose penalties for violations.
