Complaints & Inquiries One of the primary purposes of the State Government Ethics Act (“Ethics Act”) is to ensure that “violations of standards of ethical conduct and conflicts of interest are properly addressed.” The Ethics Act gives the Commission jurisdiction to conduct inquiries of complaints alleging certain unethical conduct by covered persons and legislative employees. Anyone may file a signed, sworn complaint against a covered person or legislative employee alleging violations of Chapter 138A, the State Government Ethics Act, or Article 14 of Chapter 120 of the General Statutes, the Legislative Ethics Act. The Commission may also initiate an inquiry on its own motion. Public servants and persons responsible of the appointing, hiring, or supervising of a public servant may initiate an inquiry by filing a written complaint. If you would like to file a complaint, below are links to the Commission’s complaint form and instructions for completing the form and filing the complaint. Should you have any questions, please contact the Commission’s office at (919) 807-4620 or by e-mail at ethics.commission@doa.nc.gov . - Instructions
