A Proposal To Amend The State Constitution To Prohibit Certain Felons From Holding Elective Office And Specified Types Of Public Employment Positions
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
Make a person ineligible for election or appointment to any state or local elective office or to hold a position in public employment in this state that is policy-making or has discretionary authority over public assets, if:
* within the preceding 20 years, the person was convicted of a felony involving dishonesty, deceit, fraud, or a breach of the public trust; and
*the conviction was related to the person's official capacity while holding any elective office or position of employment in local, state or federal government.
Require the State Legislature to enact laws to implement the prohibition.
Should this proposal be adopted?
