A ballot initiative called Measure E will appear on the November 2026 ballot in Los Angeles County. The proposal would replace the existing ethics oversight structure with an independent commission made up of seven members, giving it authority to enforce ethics statutes and levy penalties.
The measure aims to increase the independence of the county's oversight of ethics. Currently, the county's Ethics Commission and Office of Ethics Compliance operate without full independence, prompting the push for a restructured, autonomous body.
