2.  Rule with respect to conflicts of interest. No officer or employee
  of a state agency, member of the  legislature  or  legislative  employee
  should 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. Standards.
a. No officer or employee of a state agency, member of the legislature
  or legislative employee should accept other employment which will impair
  his  or  her  independence  of  judgment  in  the exercise of his or her
  official duties.
b. No officer or employee of a state agency, member of the legislature
  or legislative employee  should  accept  employment  or  engage  in  any
  business  or  professional  activity  which  will  require him or her to
  disclose confidential information which he or she has gained  by  reason
  of his or her official position or authority.
c. No officer or employee of a state agency, member of the legislature
  or   legislative   employee  should  disclose  confidential  information
  acquired by him or her in the course of his or her official  duties  nor
  use such information to further his or her personal interests.
d. No officer or employee of a state agency, member of the legislature
  or legislative employee should use or attempt to use his or her official
  position  to  secure unwarranted privileges or exemptions for himself or
  herself or others, including but not limited to, the misappropriation to
  himself, herself or  to  others  of  the  property,  services  or  other
  resources  of  the  state  for  private  business  or  other compensated
  non-governmental purposes.
e. No officer or employee of a state agency, member of the legislature
  or  legislative  employee  should   engage   in   any   transaction   as
  representative  or  agent of the state 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 officer or employee of a state agency, member of the legislature
  or legislative employee should not by his or her conduct give reasonable
  basis for the impression that any person can improperly influence him or
  her 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 officer or employee of a state agency should abstain from making
  personnel investments in enterprises which  he  or  she  has  reason  to
  believe  may  be directly involved in decisions to be made by him or her
  or which will otherwise create substantial conflict between his  or  her
  duty in the public interest and his or her private interest.
h. An officer or employee of a state agency, member of the legislature
  or  legislative  employee  should 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 officer or employee of a state agency employed  on  a  full-time
  basis  nor  any firm or association of which such an officer or employee
  is a member nor corporation a substantial portion of the stock of  which
  is  owned  or  controlled  directly  or  indirectly  by  such officer or
  employee, should sell goods or services to any person, firm, corporation
  or  association  which is licensed or whose rates are fixed by the state
  agency in which such officer or employee serves or is employed.
4. Violations. In addition to  any  penalty  contained  in  any  other
  provision  of  law  any  such  officer,  member  or  employee  who shall
  knowingly and intentionally  violate  any  of  the  provisions  of  this
  section  may be fined, suspended or removed from office or employment in
  the manner provided by  law.  Any  such  individual  who  knowingly  and
