Labour's Joe Fagan was found to have leaked a list of facilities that were reported to be at risk of closure under the previous SNP council administration - but he says his 'conscience is clear'.
The Standards Commission said it was"disappointed" Mr Fagan had disclosed the information.
Suzanne Vestri, Standards Commission member and chair of the hearing panel, said:"The obligation on councillors to refrain from disclosing confidential information is a key requirement of the councillors' code of conduct. "A failure to respect confidentiality can damage the reputation and integrity of a council, and can also impede discussions and decision-making.
"The panel agreed that, in this case, it was legitimate for the council to have decided that the information be kept confidential until such a time as the proposals discussed had been finalised and officers had sufficient time to prepare and manage external communications.
A South Lanarkshire Council spokesperson said:"We note the outcome of the hearing of the Ethical Standards Commission for Scotland and we await the written judgement, which we expect to receive within 14 days."
