Ethics Bill Approved In Columbia By House Vote
A compromise ethics bill passed the House by 100 to 2 and the Senate unanimously approved it. The measure creates three commissions to investigate unethical conduct by legislators and public officials, with disclosures of interests required for officials earning 20 000 dollars or more. Critics say the compromise weakens key provisions and a single outside ethics commission is unlikely.
