Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts Jr. called Smith's decision disappointing. Roberts has already stripped the Democrat of his legislative salary and benefits.
Smith was arrested on July 23 and is accused of taking $15,000 in bribes from a federal informant to help win building approvals from state officials.
One assemblyman and two mayors arrested in the sweep have resigned, but another mayor and a city council president have not.
