In 1992, the City Council passed an ordinance creating the Jacksonville Ethics Commission. With the State of Florida's Commission on Ethics and city ethics ordinances, a local Commission brings a valuable service to city officers and employees by providing a forum for consideration of ethics problems and questions.

In 2002, the Public Information Office produced an award-winning 29-minute video. View the video.


Internal Operating Procedures of the Commission Adopted August 25, 2010. Amended March 7, 2019 and October 10, 2022.
