Every legislator owes a duty to uphold the 1 10 integrity and honor of the general assembly, to encourage 1 11 respect for the law and for the general assembly and the 1 12 members thereof, and to observe the legislative code of 1 13 ethics. 1 14 In doing so,each membermembers of the senatehashave a 1 15 duty to conductoneselfthemselves so as to reflect credit on 1 16 the general assembly, and to inspire the confidence, respect, 1 17 and trust of the public, and to strive to avoid both unethical 1 18 and illegal conduct and the appearance of unethical and 1 19 illegal conduct. 1 20 Recognizing that service in the Iowa general assembly is a 1 21 part-time endeavor and that members of the general assembly 1 22 are honorable individuals who are active in the affairs of 1 23 their localities and elsewhere and that it is necessary that 1 24 they maintain a livelihood and source of income apart from 1 25 their legislative compensation, the following rules are 1 26 adopted pursuant to section 68B.31, to assist the members in 1 27 the conduct of their legislative affairs. 1 28 1. ECONOMIC INTEREST OF SENATOR. Taking into account that 1 29 legislative service is part-time, a senator shall not accept 1 30 economic or investment opportunity, under circumstances where 1 31 the senator knows, or should know, that there is a reasonable 1 32 possibility that the opportunity is being afforded the senator 1 33 with intent to influence the senator's conduct in the 1 34 performance of official duties. 1 35 2. DIVESTITURE. Where a senator learns that an economic 2 1 or investment opportunity previously accepted was offered with 2 2 the intent of influencing the senator's conduct in the 2 3 performance of official duties, the senator shall take steps 2 4 to divest that senator of that investment or economic 2 5 opportunity, and shall report the facts of the situation to 2 6 the senate ethics committee. 2 7 3. CHARGES FOR SERVICES. A senator shall not charge to or 2 8 accept from a person, corporation, partnership, or association 2 9 known to have a legislative interest a price, fee, 2 10 compensation, or other consideration for the sale or lease of 2 11 any property or the furnishing of services which is in excess 2 12 of that which the senator would charge another. 2 13 4. USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. A senator in order to 2 14 further the senator's own economic or other interests, or 2 15 those of any other person, shall not disclose or use 2 16 confidential information acquired in the course of official 2 17 duties. 2 18 5. HONORARIA. A senator shall not accept an honorarium 2 19 from a restricted donor for a speech, writing for publication, 2 20 or other similar activity, except as otherwise provided in 2 21 section 68B.23. 2 22 6. EMPLOYMENT. A senator shall not accept employment, 2 23 either directly or indirectly, from a political action 2 24 committee. A senator may accept employment from a political 2 25 party, but shall disclose the employment relationship in 2 26 writing to the secretary of the senate within ten days after 2 27 the beginning of each legislative session. If a senator 2 28 accepts employment from a political party during a legislative 2 29 session, the senator shall disclose the employment 2 30 relationship within ten days after acceptance of the 2 31 employment. 2 32 For the purpose of this rule, a political action committee 2 33 means a committee, but not a candidate's committee, which 2 34 accepts contributions, makes expenditures, or incurs 2 35 indebtedness in the aggregate of more than two hundred fifty 3 1 dollars in any one calendar year for the purpose of supporting 3 2 or opposing a candidate for public office or ballot issue or 3 3 influencing legislative action, or an association, lodge, 3 4 society, cooperative, union, fraternity, sorority, educational 3 5 institution, civic organization, labor organization, religious 3 6 organization, or professional organization which makes 3 7 contributions in the aggregate of more than two hundred fifty 3 8 dollars in any one calendar year for the purpose of supporting 3 9 or opposing a candidate for public office or ballot issue or 3 10 influencing legislative action. 3 11 7. ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF LOBBYIST. With the exception of 3 12 exercising unfettered discretion in supporting or refusing to 3 13 support proposed legislation, a senator shall not take action 3 14 intended to affect the economic interests of a lobbyist or 3 15 citizen supporting or opposing proposed legislation. 3 16 8. APPEARANCE BEFORE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. A senator may 3 17 appear before a governmental agency or board in any 3 18 representation case, except that the senator shall not act as 3 19 a lobbyist. Whenever a senator appears before a governmental 3 20 agency or board, the senator shall carefully avoid all conduct 3 21 which might in any way lead members of the general public to 3 22 conclude that the senator is using the senator's official 3 23 position to further the senator's professional success or 3 24 personal financial interest. 3 25 9. CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS. In order to permit the general 3 26 assembly to function effectively, a senator will sometimes be 3 27 required to vote on bills and participate in committee work 3 28 which will affect the senator's employment and other monetary 3 29 interests. In making a decision relative to the senator's 3 30 activity on given bills or committee work which are subject to 3 31 the code, the following factors shall be considered: 3 32 a. Whether a substantial threat to the senator's 3 33 independence of judgment has been created by the conflict 3 34 situation. 3 35 b. The effect of the senator's participation on public 4 1 confidence in the integrity of the legislature. 4 2 c. The need for the senator's particular contribution, 4 3 such as special knowledge of the subject matter, to the 4 4 effective functioning of the legislature. 4 5 A senator with a conflict of interest may participate in 4 6 floor debate if prior to debate the senator indicates the 4 7 conflict of interest. 4 8 10. GIFTS. Except as otherwise provided in section 4 9 68B.22, a senator, or that person's immediate family member, 4 10 shall not, directly or indirectly, accept or receive any gift 4 11 or series of gifts from a restricted donor. 4 12 11. DISCLOSURE REQUIRED. Each senator shall file with the 4 13 secretary of the senate within ten days after the adoption of 4 14 the code of ethics by the senate, and within ten days after 4 15 the convening of the second session of the general assembly, a 4 16 statement under section 68B.35 on forms provided by the 4 17 secretary of the senate setting forth the following 4 18 information: 4 19 The nature of each business in which the senator is engaged 4 20 and the nature of the business of each company in which the 4 21 senator has a financial interest. A senator shall not be 4 22 required to file a report or be assumed to have a financial 4 23 interest if the annual income derived from the investment in 4 24 stocks, bonds, bills, notes, mortgages, or other securities 4 25 offered for sale through recognized financial brokers is less 4 26 than one thousand dollars. 4 27 Disclosures required under this rule shall be as of the 4 28 date filed unless provided to the contrary, and shall be 4 29 amended to include interests and changes encompassed by this 4 30 rule that occur while the general assembly is in session. All 4 31 filings under this rule shall be open to public inspection in 4 32 the office of the secretary of the senate at all reasonable 4 33 times. 4 34 The secretary of the senate shall inform the ethics 4 35 committee of the statements which are filed and shall report 5 1 to the ethics committee the names of any senators who appear 5 2 not to have filed complete statements. The chairperson of the 5 3 ethics committee shall request in writing that a senator who 5 4 has failed to complete the report or appears to have filed an 5 5 incomplete report do so within five days, and, upon the 5 6 failure of the senator to comply, the ethics committee shall 5 7 require the senator to appear before the committee. 5 8 12.

A senator shall not charge to the 5 15 state of Iowa amounts for travel and expenses unless the 5 16 senator actually has incurred those mileage and expense costs. 5 17 Senators shall not file the vouchers for weekly mileage 5 18 reimbursement required by section 2.10, subsection 1, unless 5 19 the travel was actually incurred at commensurate expense to 5 20 the senator. 5 21 15. COMPLAINTS. Complaints or charges against any senator 5 22 or any lobbyist shall be in writing, made under oath, and 5 23 filed with the secretary of the senate or the chairperson of 5 24 the ethics committee.
