The Rules adopted Jan. 2, 2026, retain and clarify conflict-of-interest procedures: legislators are responsible for disclosing conflicts, may seek advisory determinations from the Board of Ethics, and, if necessary, may request a non-binding opinion from the County Attorney when the Board cannot issue a timely determination.
Rule V emphasizes legislators’ duty to disclose and resolve conflict questions and notes that advisory determinations are particularly useful when raised early. The Rules include a brief history of prior amendments and list the Cayuga County Code of Ethics (Local Law No. 5 – 2021) as a reference point.
