CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 737 - This act creates the Class A misdemeanor crime of obstruction of an ethics investigation if one knowingly bribes a person in exchange for withholding information, knowingly accepts such a bribe for withholding the information, knowingly makes a false statement to a member or employee of the Ethics Commission.
This is the same crime created in CCS#3/HCS#2/SB 844 (2010) that was, along with many other provisions, ruled unconstitutional on procedural grounds and identical to SB 144 (2013).
