Ohio Ethics Law

The Ohio General Assembly created the Ohio Ethics Law and the Ohio Ethics Commission, as the administrator of the Ethics Law for most in public service, effective January 1, 1974. The Law can be found in R.C. Chapter 102 and related sections, R.C. 2921.42 and 2921.43.


The Ethics Law enacted new laws, since enhanced, that govern all public officials and employees by:

• Requiring personal Financial Disclosure to identify and protect against conflicting interests;
• Mandating legal restrictions on unethical conduct that have criminal sanctions;
• Establishing uniform review of ethics issues by statewide ethics commissions within each of the three branches of government.*
