Authority 

 

The Executive Branch Ethics Commission's enabling statute is embodied in Kentucky Revised Statute Chapter 11A.​ The laws setting out the Code of Ethics are contained in Kentucky Revised Statute Chapter 11A and Title 9 Kentucky Administrative Regulations​, as well as Executive Order 2008-454, its amendment, Executive Order 2009-882, and Executive Order 2020-423.pdf.

   

The Executive Branch Code of Ethics created by Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 11A, effective July 14, 1992, establishes the ethical standards that govern the conduct of all executive branch employees. The code of ethics was enacted to promote public confidence in the government of the Commonwealth and its employees. The Executive Branch Ethics Commission, authorized by KRS 11A.060, is an independent agency of the Commonwealth which has been given the responsibility of administering and enforcing the provisions of the code of ethics.

   

We invite you to report suspected violations of the Executive Branch Code of Ethics by telephone at 1-800-664-7954 or emailing the Commission's Executive Director at: EthicsFiler@ky.gov​
