The aim of the article is to present the key issues related to the legal empowerment and activities of the commission examining applications for agreement to the employment of persons holding public functions. The analysis covers both institutional and legal conditions, as well as historical ones. Quantitative data on the commission's activities in 2005-2020 were also presented. The article presents the activities of the anti-corruption commission and formulates key legislative demands for the future. There is no doubt that the regulations from twenty years ago require adaptation to the changing reality. The article also presents the key positions of the judicature relating to the activities of the commission. The reason for this was, among others a judgment of the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw fundamentally challenging the current view of the way in which the applications are processed by the committee.
