Home > Oklahoma Ethics Commission Changes Its Confidentiality Rule

Body: 
According to an Associated Press article yesterday [1], the Oklahoma Ethics Commission recommended a rule change that would get rid of the gag rule on people who file ethics complaints. The cause of the rule change is two suits filed against the EC, challenging the gag rule. The suits were filed on freedom of speech grounds. See my recent blog post [2] for more on freedom of speech issues relating to confidentiality rules in ethics proceedings.
