§  917. Code of ethics. 1. As used in this section the term "authority
employee" shall mean any member, officer or employee of the authority.
2. No  authority  employee  shall  have  any  interest,  financial  or
otherwise,  direct or indirect, or engage in any business or transaction
or professional activity or incur any obligation of any nature, which is
in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of his or  her  duties
in the public interest.
3.  (a) No authority employee shall accept other employment which will
impair his or her independence of judgement in the exercise  of  his  or
her official duties.
(b)  No  authority  employee  shall accept employment or engage in any
business or professional activity which will  require  the  employee  to
disclose  confidential  information which he or she has gained by reason
of his or her official position or authority.
(c) No authority  employee  shall  disclose  confidential  information
acquired by the employee in the course of his or her official duties nor
use such information to further his or her personal interests.
(d)  No  authority  employee  shall  use  or attempt to use his or her
official position to secure unwarranted  privileges  or  exemptions  for
himself or herself or others.
(e)   No  authority  employee  shall  engage  in  any  transaction  as
representative or agent of the authority with  any  business  entity  in
which  he  or she has a direct or indirect financial interest that might
reasonably tend to conflict with the proper  discharge  of  his  or  her
official duties.
(f)  An  authority  employee  shall  not  by  his  or her conduct give
reasonable basis for the  impression  that  any  person  can  improperly
influence  such  employee  or  unduly  enjoy  his  or  her  favor in the
performance of his or her official duties, or that he or she is affected
by the kinship, rank, position or influence of any party or person.
(g)  An  authority  employee  shall  abstain  from   making   personal
investments  in enterprises which he or she has reason to believe may be
directly involved in decisions to be made by the employee or which  will
otherwise  create  substantial  conflict  between his or her duty in the
public interest and his or her private interest.
(h) An authority employee shall endeavor to pursue a course of conduct
which will not raise suspicion among the public that he or she is likely
to be engaged in acts that are in violation of his or her trust.
(i) No authority employee employed on a full-time basis nor  any  firm
or  association  of  which such an employee is a member nor authority, a
substantial portion of  the  stock  of  which  is  owned  or  controlled
directly or indirectly by such employee, shall sell goods or services to
any  person,  firm,  authority or association which is licensed or whose
rates are fixed by the authority in which such  employee  serves  or  is
employed.
(j)  If any authority employee shall have a financial interest, direct
or indirect, having a value of ten  thousand  dollars  or  more  in  any
activity which is subject to the jurisdiction of a regulatory agency, he
or  she  shall file with the secretary of state a written statement that
he or she has such a financial interest in such activity which statement
shall be open to public inspection.
4. Violations. In addition to  any  penalty  contained  in  any  other
provision  of  law  any  such authority employee who shall knowingly and
intentionally violate any of the  provisions  of  this  section  may  be
fined, suspended or removed from office or employment.
