M.G.L. c. 268B requires that public employees annually file Statements of Financial Interest with the State Ethics Commission for any year in which they are public employees for 30 days or more. M.G.L. c. 268B defines "public employee" to include, with certain enumerated exceptions, persons holding "major policy making positions" in governmental bodies and imposes upon certain state and county officials the obligation annually to designate the "major policy making positions" within their respective jurisdictions. M.G.L. c. 268B also empowers the Executive Director of the State Ethics Commission to add positions which he deems to be "major policy making positions".
930 CMR 2.00 establishes standards and procedures for the designation of "major policy making positions" and identification of public employees by the appropriate state and county officials and by the Executive Director of the State Ethics Commission. They are intended to carry out the purposes of M.G.L. c. 268B by insuring uniform designations throughout state and county government and facilitating the designation process.
