You will be held to "Code of Conduct" and rules of Ethics. If found to have violated the Code of Conduct/Ethics. you will suffer a fine and or immediate dismissal/suspension of duties, depending on the infraction. 5. If you introduce a bill it must be accompanied by a reference to the section of the Constitution that authorizes it. Article 2--Elected Officials Voting Record Committee.
