Ethics and Lobbying in Government
The New York State Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government (“CELG” or “the Commission”) (formerly JCOPE) was established as part of the Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011, which comprehensively reformed the oversight and regulation of ethics and lobbying in New York State.
The Commission (formerly JCOPE) was created to restore public trust in government by ensuring compliance with New York State’s ethics and lobbying laws and regulations. It has jurisdiction over more than 250,000 officers and employees at State agencies and departments, including commissions, boards, State public benefit corporations, public authorities, SUNY, CUNY, and the statutory closely affiliation corporations.
