Most of these deal with having a direct financial interest in a contract being awarded or other decisions being made. Municipalities have more limitations than other local governments. Any member of the governing body of any city or town who has a personal or private interest in any matter proposed or pending before the governing body shall disclose such interest to the governing body and shall not vote thereon, and shall refrain from attempting to influence the decision of the other members of the governing body in voting on the matter.
Many municipalities have local ordinances or rules governing conflicts.
