ON-LINE TRAINING PROGRAM
Under Education & Training Resources
Chapter 28 of the Acts of 2009 implmented a new mandatory training program for all persons defined as "public employees."
By April 2, 2010, and every 2 years thereafter, all current state, county and municipal employees were required to complete this training. Public employees hired after April 2, 2010 were required to complete this training within 30
days of beginning public service, and every 2 years thereafter. The training program currently available on the website is designed primarily for state employees. County and municipal employees should also use this training until it is revised with one tailored to them.
Upon completing the program, employees should print out the completion certificate and keep a copy for themselves. Employees will be required to provide a copy of the completion certificate to the Town or City Clerk (municipal employees), their employing agency (appointed state and county employees), or to the Ethics Commission (elected state
and county employees). Completing the single program will be considered by the Commission as meeting the Bill's training requirements until a second program is added.
When multiple users attempt to complete the current training program using the same computer they may experience a problem accessing the beginning of the program. The user will need to open their internet browser, click on "Tools", then "Internet Options", select "Delete Cookies", then click "OK". The user will be able to click back on the Online Training module on the Commission's website and start at the beginning.
