Ethics Training - State of TN

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

While the Ethics Commission has the authority to enforce ethics statutes, the Governor has the authority to issue Executive Orders placing additional responsibilities on executive branch employees. Gov. Haslam has signed Executive Order 1, “Concerning Ethics Policies and Disclosures by the Executive Branch”, which places additional filing responsibilities on certain executive branch employees. In addition, Executive Order 1 by Gov. Haslam leaves in place Executive Order 3 issued by Gov. Bredesen with a slight modification. This Executive Order concerns “Ethics, Conflicts of Interests, and Acceptance of Gifts on the Part of Executive Branch Employees”.

While these Executive Orders are not enforced by the Ethics Commission, these Executive Orders should be read by all executive branch employees. Questions concerning these Executive Orders should be addressed to the Governor’s office.
