The Baltimore City Board of Ethics is an independent body comprised of five members that oversee Baltimore’s Public Ethics Law, contained in Article 8 of the City Code. The Ethics Law applies to all Baltimore City officials and employees. It ensures that officials and employees serve the public with fairness and independence by guarding against conflicts of interest and other types of improper actions connected with City employment. The Ethics Law also governs lobbyist registration and activity in the City.
In April 2020, the City Council voted for Baltimore’s Inspector General to become the ex officio Executive Director of the Ethics Board, effective October 10, 2020. The IG has designated a Director and Administrator to assist the Board in day-to-day operations—the first time the Board has enjoyed full-time assistance. The Board and its staff are committed to carrying out all of the Board’s important functions, including investigating ethics complaints, promoting awareness of the Ethics Law, and answering all ethics-related questions from City officials, employees, and citizens.
