Administrative History
The Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption was created by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo in July 2013 in accordance with the state's Moreland Act. It was charged with investigating potential violations of state laws relating to elections, political campaigning, and political fundraising. The commission was disbanded in March 2014 following the incorporation of several ethics reforms into the 2014-2015 state budget.
