Provides that, upon discovery of a conflict situation, the legislator shall disclose the conflict by notifying the Office of the Legislative Inspector General. Amends the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. Directs the Legislative Inspector General to examine any conflict situation notice filed by a member, as well as each bill that is related to the conflict situation and that has been filed and approved for consideration, and to either (i) provide the member with an informal advisory opinion or (ii) refer the notice to the Commission for a formal advisory opinion and an opportunity to respond.
