The Delaware Valley Property & Liability Trust has partnered with the Pa State Association of Boroughs (PSAB) to bring the Pa Ethics Act and Open Records Act class to our Horsham location on Thursday, May 31, 2018. The Trust is also offering up to 20 full scholarships to Property & Liability Trust members who complete the course (limit 2 scholarships per member entity).

Description:  Part one of this full day session will include instruction on Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law (Act 3 of 2008) which has resulted in several administrative decisions that have had a direct impact upon local government policies and procedures plus a comprehensive review of the procedural process of responding to requests and appeals before the OOR. The course will discuss common and not so common requested records and the OOR and Commonwealth court’s positions regarding the public status of those records.

Part two of this training has been designed to explain the mandates of the Ethics Act as it relates to local public officials and employees, and to explore and define potential conflicts of interest situations that public officials and employees should avoid. Actual case scenarios will be presented and discussed as examples of situations relevant to public positions held. The substantive and administrative aspects of filing a personal disclosure statement will also be discussed. The State Ethics Law was enacted to strengthen the faith and confidence of state and local citizens in their government, and to ensure that the financial interests of holder of or nominees or candidates for public offices do not conflict with the public trust. As a currently serving public official, you may be subject to the provisions of the Ethics Law.

Cost:  The cost to attend is $50/PSAB members and $75/Non-PSAB members. You must register directly with PSAB (see below).

*This program has been approved by the PA Continuing Legal Education Board for 6 hours of substantive law, practice and procedure CLE credit and 0 hours of ethics, professionalism or substance abuse CLE credit.
