§ 2.9. Conflict of interest
No member of any Town or Town School District board, commission, or committee shall vote on any matter where there is a direct or indirect financial or personal interest. It is expected that any member of any Town or Town School District board, commission, or committee with a conflict of interest will fully disclose the nature of his or her conflict and will recuse himself or herself from a vote on the issue at hand. The member with a conflict of interest may participate in the discussion of the issue at hand with the consent of the majority of the remaining board, commission, or committee members.
Any interested person may publicly request that a member recuse himself of herself due to a conflict of interest. (Amended 2003, No. M-6, § 2; 2011, No. M-10 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. April 27, 2012.)
