Section 0690-03-01-.28 - CONTRACT WITH CURRENT OR FORMER STATE EMPLOYEE

(1) A State Agency shall not contract with or consider a proposal from an individual who is, or within the past six months has been, a State employee.

(a) For the purposes of applying this Rule,

1. An individual shall be deemed a State employee until such time as all compensation for salary, termination pay, and annual leave has been paid;

2. A contract with or a proposal from a company, corporation, or any other contracting entity in which a controlling interest is held by any State employee shall be considered to be a contract with or proposal from the employee; and

3. A contract with or a proposal from a company, corporation, or any other contracting entity that employs an individual who is, or within the past six months has been, a State employee shall not be considered a contract with or a proposal from the employee and shall not constitute a conflict of interest prohibited by these Rules.

(2) A State employee may be compensated for performing services for a State agency other than the State agency employing the individual (e.g., a State accountant might be paid for teaching an evening accounting course at a community college). Such agreements are subject to the Rules of the Department of Finance and Administration, Chapter 0620-03-02, et seq., and not the Rules of this chapter.
