BUDGET FUNCTION
2.50.040 - Establishment of an ethics commission.
In accordance with the provision of Section 7-148h of the Connecticut General Statutes there is
created an ethics commission. This commission is empowered to investigate or to cause to be
investigated allegations levied against any town board, agency, commission, committee, official
or employee of unethical conduct, corrupting influence, or illegal activities. Allegations of
criminal misconduct or violations of the state penal code shall be referred to the police
department or State Attorney’s office whenever such allegations come to the attention of the
commission, whether upon receipt of a complaint or during the course of an investigation.
Notwithstanding provisions herein to the contrary, established internal complaint procedures
of any town board, agency, commission or committee, as such procedures may be amended,
shall take precedence over the procedures established herein as to allegations levied against
any town employee of such board or commission. Complaints which fall under the purview of
an established complaint procedure of an agency shall be referred to that agency for
disposition. The commission may issue subpoenas or subpoenas duces tecum, enforceable
upon application to the superior court, to compel the attendance of persons at hearings and
the production of books, documents, records and papers. The commission shall not initiate
investigations on its own volition.
The financial needs of the commission shall be funded in the same manner as other Town
funded boards and commissions. The commission shall receive no compensation for their
services as such, but shall be reimbursed for their necessary expenses incurred in the
performance of their duties.
Funding for the commission is comprised of clerical services (plus fringe benefits), operating
services, and office supplies.
