The resolution directs the Director of the Legislative Services Agency in Alabama to hire an outside consultant with national expertise in governmental ethics. This initiative aims to review and assess the state's ethics laws, which currently govern over 300,000 public officials and employees, including elected officials and local public servants. The goal is to ensure that ethical standards are clearly defined and effectively protect against corruption, thereby enhancing public confidence in government operations.

The consultant is expected to conduct a thorough study of Alabama's ethics laws and provide findings and recommendations. These insights will be reported to key legislative leaders, including the Director, the Speaker of the House, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, by the first day of the 2025 Regular Session. This resolution reflects a commitment to improving ethical governance in Alabama and ensuring that public servants adhere to high standards of integrity.
