New York City has over 300,000 government employees, and the City’s conflicts of interest law covers all of them. That law, contained in Chapter 68 of the City Charter, sets forth bright-line rules for public servants when it comes to dealing with conflicts of interest, such as the acceptance of gifts, outside jobs, political activities, and post-employment situations.

With engaging training; confidential, quick advice; and effective, fair enforcement, COIB seeks to uphold the standards contained in Chapter 68 and help City employees make the right choice when they face potential conflicts of interest.

Public servants may not need to know every detail of the conflicts of interest law, but they do need to know enough to be able to spot issues as they arise, and they need to know who to turn to for answers.
