The proposed bill, known as the "state officers public trust guarantee act," aims to prevent state officers from accepting employment with certain entities for a minimum of two years after leaving public office. Specifically, starting January 1, 2026, state officers will be prohibited from working for or providing compensated services to any person with whom they had a contractual relationship during their official duties, particularly if they were involved in issuing payments to that person through their department.

Violations of this act will be classified as a misdemeanor, carrying penalties of up to 90 days of imprisonment, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. The bill defines "state officer" as individuals appointed by the governor or other executive officials, and "person" encompasses a wide range of legal entities, including individuals, corporations, and governmental entities.
