MEMORANDUM

TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	June 6, 2023

RE:	Required Ethics Training

On May 24, 2023, the Governor signed CS/HB 199 into law as Chapter 2023-121, Laws of Florida. Section 112.3142, Florida Statutes, requires that specified constitutional officers, elected municipal officers, and commissioners complete four (4) hours of ethics training annually. This requirement is noted on page 1 of the Form 1, Statement of Financial Interests. This legislation provides that beginning January 1, 2024, elected and appointed commissioners of community redevelopment agencies and local officers of independent special districts are now required to complete four (4) hours of ethics training annually. The training must address, at a minimum, s. 8, Art. II of the Florida Constitution (ethics for public officers and financial disclosure), the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees, and the Florida Public Records Law and Open Meetings laws. The legislation specifically provides that this training requirement may be satisfied by completing a continuing legal education class or other continuing professional education class or seminar if the required subject matter is covered therein.

For current supervisors and officers, it is recommended that this training requirement be completed by July 1, 2024, so that the supervisor or officer can verify compliance with the required training on his or her Form 1, Statement of Financial Interests (2023). Elected local officers of independent special districts that assume office on or before March 31st must complete annual ethics training by December 31st of the year the term begins; however, if the term starts after March 31st, the officer is not required to complete the required ethics training until December 31st of the following year. The Legislature intends for those elected officers to receive the required training as close as possible to the date that he or she assumes office. The chart below can be used as a reference:

Date elected or appointed	Annual Training Completed By	
Current Officer/Supervisor	December 31, 2024 (recommend completion by
July 1, 2024)	
January 1 – March 31, 2024	December 31, 2024	
April 1 – December 31, 2024	December 31, 2025	

The legislation also amends Section 112.313(a), Florida Statutes, clarifying the conflicts exception for public officers or employees of water control districts (Chapter 298, Florida Statutes)

or a special tax districts created by general (i.e. community development districts) or special law and which is limited specifically to constructing, maintaining, managing, and financing improvements in the land area over which the district has jurisdiction. Employment with or entering into a contractual relationship with a business entity is not prohibited and is not deemed a conflict per se; however, conduct by such officer or employee that is prohibited by or otherwise frustrates the intent of Section 112.313(7), Florida Statutes, including conduct that violates subsections (6) (misuse of public position) and (8) (disclosure of information not otherwise available to the public for personal benefit) thereof is deemed an impermissible conflict of interest.

For convenience, we have included a copy of the legislation referenced in this memorandum. We request that you include this memorandum as part of the agenda packages for upcoming meetings of the governing boards of those special districts in which you serve as the District Manager and this firm serves as District Counsel. You can expect our traditional legislative memorandum in the coming weeks, where we will summarize other legislation from the 2023 Legislative Session relevant to special districts.

CHAPTER 2023-121

Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 199

An act relating to ethics requirements for officers and employees of special tax districts; amending s. 112.313, F.S.; specifying that certain conduct by certain public officers and employees is deemed a conflict of interest; making technical changes; amending s. 112.3142, F.S.; requiring certain ethics training for elected local officers of independent special districts beginning on a specified date; specifying requirements for such training; providing an effective date.

Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
Section 1.	Subsection (7) of section 112.313, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
112.313 Standards of conduct for public officers, employees of agencies, and local government attorneys.—
CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT OR CONTRACTUAL RELATION- SHIP.—
No public officer or employee of an agency shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity or any agency which is subject to the regulation of, or is doing business with, an agency of which he or she is an officer or employee, excluding those organizations and their officers who, when acting in their official capacity, enter into or negotiate a collective bargaining contract with the state or any municipality, county, or other political subdivision of the state; nor shall an officer or employee of an agency have or hold any employment or contractual relationship that will create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his or her private interests and the performance of his or her public duties or that would impede the full and faithful discharge of his or her public duties.
When the agency referred to is that certain kind of special tax district created by general or special law and is limited specifically to constructing, maintaining, managing, and financing improvements in the land area over which the agency has jurisdiction, or when the agency has been organized pursuant to chapter 298, then employment with, or entering into a contractual relationship with, such business entity by a public officer or employee of such agency is shall not be prohibited by this subsection or be deemed a conflict per se. However, conduct by such officer or employee that is prohibited by, or otherwise frustrates the intent of, this section, including conduct that violates subsections (6) and (8), is shall be deemed a conflict of interest in violation of the standards of conduct set forth by this section.
1

Ch. 2023-121	LAWS OF FLORIDA	Ch. 2023-121

When the agency referred to is a legislative body and the regulatory power over the business entity resides in another agency, or when the regulatory power which the legislative body exercises over the business entity or agency is strictly through the enactment of laws or ordinances, then employment or a contractual relationship with such business entity by a public officer or employee of a legislative body shall not be prohibited by this subsection or be deemed a conflict.
This subsection shall not prohibit a public officer or employee from practicing in a particular profession or occupation when such practice by persons holding such public office or employment is required or permitted by law or ordinance.
Section 2. Paragraphs (d) and (e) of subsection (2) of section 112.3142, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, present paragraph (e) of that subsection is amended, and a new paragraph
(d) is added to that subsection, to read:
112.3142 Ethics training for specified constitutional officers, elected municipal officers, and commissioners of community redevelopment agen- cies, and elected local officers of independent special districts.—
(2)
(d) Beginning January 1, 2024, each elected local officer of an indepen- dent special district, as defined in s. 189.012, and each person who is appointed to fill a vacancy for an unexpired term of such elective office must complete 4 hours of ethics training each calendar year which addresses, at a minimum, s. 8, Art. II of the State Constitution, the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees, and the public records and public meetings laws of this state. This requirement may be satisfied by completion of a continuing legal education class or other continuing professional education class, seminar, or presentation, if the required subject matter is covered by such class, seminar, or presentation.
(f)(e) The Legislature intends that a constitutional officer, or elected municipal officer, or elected local officer of an independent special district who is required to complete ethics training pursuant to this section receive the required training as close as possible to the date that he or she assumes office. A constitutional officer, or elected municipal officer, or elected local officer of an independent special district assuming a new office or new term of office on or before March 31 must complete the annual training on or before December 31 of the year in which the term of office began. A constitutional officer, or elected municipal officer, or elected local officer of an independent special district assuming a new office or new term of office after March 31 is not required to complete ethics training for the calendar year in which the term of office began.
Section 3.	This act shall take effect July 1, 2023.
