Rule 1 CCR 206-1-7 - GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONSBasis and Purpose for Restated Rule 7
The purpose of Rule 7 is to provide specific guidelines in compliance with C.R.S. 44-40-110(1)(f) regarding ethics. The statutory basis for Rule 7 is found in C.R.S. 44-40-108 and 44-40-109.
7.1PurposePublic confidence in the integrity of state government demands that public officials demonstrate the highest ethical standards at all times. Those who serve the people of the State of Colorado as public officials should do so with integrity and honesty, and should discharge their duties in an independent and impartial manner. At the same time, qualified individuals should be encouraged to serve in state government and have reasonable opportunities with all citizens to develop private economic and social interests. This Code strives to accomplish these ends by providing standards by which the conduct of all who serve on the Colorado Lottery Commission for the Colorado Department of Revenue can be measured.
