Understanding the Latest Updates to Florida’s Code of Ethics: What You Need to Know
​
Staying current with ethics laws is essential for public officers and employees, especially as legislative changes continue to shape expectations around transparency, accountability, and conduct. Following the 2026 legislative session, several important updates to Florida’s Code of Ethics have been introduced—along with new advisory opinions that provide further guidance on how these rules are applied in practice.
​
This CLE program offers a timely overview of those developments, helping attendees understand not just what has changed, but what those changes mean in real-world situations.
​
Why This Matters​
​
Ethics compliance is not just about following the letter of the law—it’s about preserving public confidence and ensuring integrity in decision-making. Even seemingly small changes to statutes or interpretations can have significant implications.
​
This CLE is designed to equip participants with the knowledge they need to navigate these updates confidently and responsibly.
