Notes:

  • Statutes referenced are the beginning of sections discussing financial disclosure.
  • This research list states' disclosure requirements. It does not comprehensively list bans states may have on practices other states require to be disclosed. For example, one state may ban honoraria, while another requires legislators to report any they receive. So states with broad reporting requirements shouldn't always be considered to have stricter laws.
  • Read numbers written "$5,000+" as "at least $5,000," or "$5,000 or more."
  • Generally, states do not require filers to list their primary homes as property. In many cases, they don't require them to list other recreational homes either.
  • Generally, states exempt privileged information from income reporting requirements. In many cases, they exempt individual sources that constitute a part of gross income. When this exemption is present, it is not always noted in the above table.
