Alabama Administrative Code › Title 130 - ALABAMA STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES › Chapter 130-X-1 - POLICY AND PROCEDURES › Section 130-X-1-.08 - Policy Statement On Conflict Of Interest

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) The development and growth of the arts in
			 our state requires maximum contribution from civic leaders and leaders in field
			 of the arts. For this reason, it is felt that State Council member should not
			 be disqualified from participating in the arts, in arts organizations, or in
			 any of the projects supported by the Council solely because of their official
			 capacity with the Council. Neither should they be disqualified from serving on
			 the State Council because of their affiliation with any arts organization,
			 state or local.
(2) The State
			 Council is, however, alert to the possibility of a member's misuse, or apparent
			 misuse, of such capacity to further his/her own interests or those of an
			 organization with which he is affiliated.
(3) It is to preclude such possibilities that
			 the Council is governed by the State Ethic Commission's policy regarding
			 "Conflict of Interest."
(4) A
			 Council member shall not in any way act on a grant application from an
			 organization with which he/she is directly affiliated.
(5) Council members, as a state appointed
			 public official must comply with, confirm to and otherwise abide by conflict of
			 interest policies and ethic laws as administered and maintained by the State
			 Ethics Commission.
(6) No Council
			 member shall receive or solicit, directly or indirectly, anything of economic
			 value as a gratuity or favor from any person or organization if the Council
			 member has reason to believe that such favor is tendered solely because of his
			 position with this state agency and is intended to unduly influence actions on
			 a pending application or proposal.
(7) It should be remembered, however, that
			 attendance at many types of arts events enhances one's value as a council
			 member. Therefore, accepting complimentary tickets, catalogs, or other
			 publications is permissible and considered a routine function of a council
			 member.
