Measure E proposes amending the Los Angeles County Charter to increase the independence and funding for the County Ethics Commission and Office of Ethics Compliance. The measure would grant these bodies the power to investigate misconduct, issue subpoenas, and fine violators up to $15,000 per offense. It also guarantees a minimum annual budget of $14.3 million and locks in a 10% general fund set-aside for community investment.
