About Us

The Georgia General Assembly enacted the Ethics in Government Act (O.C.G.A. Section 21-5-1 et seq.) in 1986. The intent of the Act is to protect the integrity of the democratic process and to ensure fair elections with the public disclosure of campaign financing and significant private interests of public officers and candidates for public office. The State Ethics Commission was created effective March 1, 1987, as the successor to the State Campaign and Financial Disclosure Commission. The General Assembly created the State Ethics Commission to enforce the Ethics in Government Act objectively and on a non-partisan basis.
