The West Virginia Ethics Commission wants lawmakers to require public officials and candidates to reveal their spouses' financial interests.
A commission committee signed off Tuesday on the final draft of a bill that the commission plans to submit to the Legislature in January for the next regular session.
The legislation would require public officials and candidates to disclose their spouse's employment and business interests.
It also would require officials and candidates to disclose real estate holdings valued at $10,000 or more, along with any interests in sales or contracts with government agencies.
In June, the Center for Public Integrity gave the Ethics Commission an "F" for not having these requirements.
