| Annual Performance Measures The Oregon Government Standards and Practices Commission (GSPC), established by vote of the people in 1974, is a seven-member citizen commission charged with enforcing government standards and practices (ethics) laws. Government standards and practices laws prohibit public officials from using office for financial gain, and require public disclosure of economic conflict of interest. The GSPC also enforces state laws which require lobbyists and the entities they represent to register and periodically report their expenditures. The third area of GSPC jurisdiction is the executive session provisions of public meetings law. Before 1993, the agency was known as the Oregon Government Ethics Commission. Â | |
