JCOPE to Meet

The Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) has scheduled its next meeting for  Tuesday, January 28th, at its offices in Albany.

According to the meeting agenda, Commissioners will discuss a “legal framework for determinations” on “source of funding” exemption applications, as well as exemption applications from Family Planning Advocates of NYS, the New York Women’s Equality Coalition, New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms and the New York Civil Liberties Union.

On a related matter, yesterday’s State Register included a notice of emergency rulemaking by JCOPE regarding their “source of funding” regulations. (Read background on these regulations in my prior post.)  JCOPE is re-issuing the proposed regulations on an emergency basis, which means that they will expire on March 7, 2014.
