Purpose


The purpose of this rulemaking is to update these rules to reflect that --on January 1, 2022--the Commission on Ethics will accept certain disclosure filings only through the electronic filing system that will be created and maintained by the Commission as provided in Section 112.31446, Florida Statutes. In particular, this will affect the filing of the CE Form 6 - Full and Public Disclosure of Financial Interests, the CE Form 6F - Final Full and Public Disclosure of Financial Interests, and the CE Form 6X - Amendment to Full and Public Disclosure of Financial Interests. The amendments to these rules will also update, clarify, and re-adopt the instructions incorporated by reference within them to similarly reflect that the forms must be filed electronically beginning January 1, 2022. Finally, additional changes are being made to the all of the referenced instructions to update and clarify their language, as explained in the "summary" portion of this notice.
