Oklahoma Ethics Commission Launches Website Redesign

The Oklahoma Ethics Commission (OEC) recently launched a new redesigned website at http://www.ok.gov/ethics. The site serves as a central hub for information on the many services offered by the Commission and provides instant access to them 24/7.

“It’s important that we provide an informative and functional website to keep Oklahomans up to date on the issues handled by the Oklahoma Ethics Commission,” said OEC Chair, Karen Long. “Not only is our redesigned website more visually appealing, but it also offers a more user-friendly experience for Oklahomans searching for information about the ethical conduct of state officials and employees.”

Some of the services and information available on the new website include:

• Campaign Finance Reporting
• Lobbyists and Liaisons Reporting
• Financial Disclosures
• Ethics Laws, Guides and Forms
• County, City and School Reporting
• Agency Information

The new website was built using OK.gov’s Web Management Suite, allowing for easy and quick web development and maintenance, while utilizing a standard state agency web template. The Oklahoma Ethics Commission website and services result from a partnership between the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) and OK.gov. More information about the new site can be found at http://www.ok.gov/ethics.

About Oklahoma Ethics Commission

The Ethics Commission (the "Commission") is charged with promulgating rules of ethical conduct carrying civil penalties for: state officers and employees, campaigns for elective state office, and campaigns for state initiatives and referenda. It is further charged with investigating and prosecuting violations and recommending civil penalties for such in district court. The agency thus drafts the rules and has direct prosecutorial authority over them. For more information, visit ethics.ok.gov.
