Advisory Opinion 2008-002
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
Abstract
A public member of DHEC’s State Health Planning Committee is required to recuse from all Committee discussions, deliberations, votes and any other matters related to the economic interest of the public member’s affiliated entity. The large class exception found in the definition of economic interest may provide an exception to the recusal requirements of Section 8-13-700(B) under certain circumstances. A State Health Planning Committee member who is no longer employed by the affiliated entity or no longer sits on the entity’s board does not have a conflict because of his prior employment or membership on the entity board. A committee chair is not obligated to take any action if a committee member’s vote or discussion appear to violate the Ethics Reform Act.
