WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Wichita city leaders are considering overhauling their ethics code and for the first time setting a limit on gifts to city council members.
The proposed rules drafted over the past year would ban gifts worth more than $150 a year, establish an anonymous hotline for reporting ethics violations and set up an appointed commission to review complaints. Violating the new ethics code could result in a fine between $100 and $1,000, according to The Wichita Eagle.
The City Council will decide later this spring whether to adopt the new rules, which are set to be reviewed at an April 27 meeting.
