b) No member of a
Department advisory group shall participate in the selection, award or
administration of a grant or contract in which the member, a member of his or
her immediate family or business partner or associate has a financial interest
or which might present a conflict of interest as defined by Section
428.20.
c) Any advisory group member having a
financial interest in a matter under consideration shall make a full disclosure
of that interest and shall abstain from discussion, advising or voting on the
matter that gave rise to the conflict.
d) Failure of an advisory group member to
disclose a conflict of interest may result in removal from the Council,
committee or task force and/or review of the process or decision in which the
member participated.
e) The
chairperson or other presiding officer shall refer the following situations to
the Department Office of Internal Audits for a review or opinion:
1) A Council, committee or task force member
has an association with a grant or contract in a manner that could be
considered a conflict of interest in accordance with this Part; or
2) A Council, committee, or task force member
appears to have solicited or accepted gratuities, favors or something of value
other than the token(s) authorized by this Section in exchange for serving on a
body advisory to the Department.
