Ethics Review Commission

The Ethics Review Commission is the result of a voter-approved amendment to the county charter. It was approved by voters in November 2021 and the commission was established in 2022.

The commission consists of three members who will serve alternating three-year terms. For the initial terms, Commissioner 1 will serve a one-year term, Commissioner 2 will serve a two-year term and Commissioner 3 will serve a three-year term. Thereafter, each selected commissioner will serve three-year terms.

The commission is responsible for hearing, investigating, and ruling on complaints of violations of the code of ethics in Clark County Code 2.07.01, Code of Ethical Conduct and applies to elected officials, appointed committee or advisory board members, and county employees.

The Ethics Review Commission has regular meetings quarterly the third Tuesday at 2:30pm.
*special meetings or cancelations may be announced by a special meeting notice*

Contact the County Manager's office with any questions: 564.397.2232
