Ethics Training and Acknowledgment

Every 2 years, all state, county, and municipal employees must complete a conflict of interest law online training program. Newly elected or appointed public employees must complete this training within 30 days of beginning public service, and every 2 years thereafter. 

In addition, every year all state, county, and municipal employees must be provided with the summary of the conflict of interest law. Newly elected or appointed public employees should be provided with the summary within 30 days of election or appointment, and on an annual basis thereafter. All public employees are required to sign a written acknowledgment that they have been provided with the summary.

Completion of the training and acknowledgment is required by law. The Ethics Commission is now tracking compliance electronically. Ignoring this requirement may result in action by the Ethics Commission.

You may have already received an email from the Town Clerk. If you have not taken your exam or signed your acknowledgment please reach out to the Town Clerk for information how to proceed.
