The BRADD established a regional assistance program for local governments faced with complying with the ethics legislation passed by the General Assembly. To meet the requirement that each local government obtain financial disclosure information on office holders and candidates and establish an enforcement process for the terms of their ethics standards, the BRADD established a Regional Ethics Board with the Records Administrator to assist.
Eight of the counties and twenty-one of the cities in the BRADD participate in the program.
The Regional Ethics Board includes one representative from each of the ten counties, with a former judge as a chairman. The Board reviews complaints and has authority to act on complaints, including the assessment of penalties.
