CONFLICT OF INTEREST

A member of the board who has a direct or indirect financial or employment interest relating to a matter before the board, which interest is reasonably likely to affect impartiality of judgment in the matter, shall make known the interest and shall refrain from participating in or voting upon the matter. The abstention of a board member or members does not prevent the remaining members from conducting a legal vote. Statutory Authority: MS s 18E.05 History: 15 SR 1876
