Abstract
The transparency of the assets of persons performing key public functions is desired and expected by the public. However, the current regulations unfortunately do not guarantee it fully. Therefore, on 21 November 2023, a Draft Act Amending the Act on Restrictions on the Conduct of Business by Persons Performing Public Functions and Certain Other Acts was submitted by a group of Sejm members to the Speaker. This bill, commonly referred to as ‘clean hands’, provides for the principle under which the separate property of the spouses of state and local self-government officials will also have to be disclosed in the financial disclosure statements they submit. In the present study, the author analyses the proposed changes and assesses them through the prism of the principles and rights expressed in the Constitution. She also suggests adopting solutions that would effectively prevent the concealment of assets by persons obliged to submit financial disclosure statements.
