What is this?

StateReference Ethics is a project by Nathan Story. This is a searchable database of ethics disclosures filed by Massachusetts officials detailing their investments, potential conflicts of interest, and more.

What is a conflict of interest disclosure?

The Massachusetts Conflict of Interest Law (G.L. c. 268A) requires that public employees file certain disclosures when a conflict of interest could be present. Examples include:

  • reimbursement of travel expenses by an outside party
  • a financial interest in a state contract
  • a relationship that creates the appearance of a conflict

See the State Ethics Commission page on conflict of interest law disclosures.

What is a statement of financial interests (SFI)?

Each year Massachusetts public employees in policy-making positions and candidates for office are required to file an SFI under the financial disclosure law (G.L. c. 268B).

In the statement, filers list their investments, outside employment, and other financial interests.

SFIs of state and county employees and candidates are filed with the State Ethics Commission. Municipal employees and candidates file with their municipalities.

What is the State Ethics Commission?

The conflict of interest law is administered and enforced by the State Ethics Commission. The commission is the custodian for disclosures directly filed with the commission. However, the vast majority of state employees file their disclosures with their appointing authorities.
