Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, is nearing the final push in a two-year effort to crack down on public corruption. Gaetz’s Florida Anti-Corruption Act of 2016 Tuesday cleared the Senate Community Affairs Committee with a unanimous vote and is one stop away from a Senate floor vote.
Among other things, SB 686 prohibits legislators from accepting a job for which they are not qualified — as determined by the Florida Ethics Commission — or in exchange for favors delivered while the lawmaker held public office.
