The Senate Resolution introduced by Pittman on January 7, 2025, establishes Ethical Conduct Rules for the Pennsylvania Senate during the 209th and 210th Regular Sessions (2025-2026). These rules prohibit campaign activities during Senate work hours and the use of Senate resources for such activities. While Senate employees can engage in campaign work on their own time, it cannot be a condition of their employment. The resolution also forbids the solicitation or receipt of campaign contributions within Senate offices and restricts the use of official Senate contact lists to legislative purposes only.

To ensure compliance with these ethical standards, the resolution outlines a formal process for reporting and investigating violations. Reports of alleged violations must be documented and submitted to Senate leaders, with the Secretary of the Senate conducting preliminary inquiries. If necessary, cases may be referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics for further investigation, which will be carried out by an independent third party. The resolution also mandates annual financial interest statements for Senators and certain employees, as well as annual training on ethical behavior. Any amendments to these rules require approval from a majority of elected Senators and must go through the Rules Committee.
