Applications open for DeKalb County Board of Ethics members

A new DeKalb County Board of Ethics is being selected and applications for positions are open until Dec. 1.

The board is intended to independently review claims of improper conduct by public officials.

The current board has been inactive since the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled in 2018 that its current board member appointment method was unconstitutional. A proposal approved by voters Nov. 3 will dissolve the current board Dec. 31. New board members will take their positions Jan. 1, 2021.
