As a state, county, or municipal employee in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, you are required to comply with the state conflict of interest law, including completing education on the law’s requirements. You are required to complete a training program course and a summary acknowledgment course. The training program course has to be completed every two years and the summary acknowledgment course has to be completed every year.

The State Ethics Commission’s online learning portal recently sent emails informing everyone of their next course due dates. When you log in to your user account, the online learning portal will only display the requirements due this calendar year. If you completed the training program course in 2023, you only need to complete the summary acknowledgment course in 2024 as the training program course will not be due again until 2025. If you did not complete either course in 2023, you will need to complete them both this year.
