RE:	Required Ethics Training and Financial Disclosure

Deadlines & Recordkeeping

The deadline to complete training for this calendar year is December 31, 2024. There is no requirement to submit proof that you have completed the training. However, the Florida Commission on Ethics recommends that Supervisors maintain a record of all completed trainings, including the date and time of completion. This documentation may be useful if Supervisors are ever required to provide evidence of training completion. The training is a calendar year requirement and corresponds to the form year. Therefore, Supervisors will report their 2024 training when filling out their Form 1 for the 2025 year.
