Standing obligation to disclose interests

8. Standing obligation to disclose interests



(1) The member of the Committee appointed for the State (including an acting
member appointed for the State) must disclose any interest the member has if
that interest could conflict with the proper performance of the functions of
the member's office.

(2) Disclosure is required whether or not there is any particular matter under
consideration that gives rise to an actual conflict of interest.

(3) The disclosure must be by written notice given to the Chair of the
Committee. The notice must be given as soon as practicable after the member
becomes aware of the potential for conflict of interest.

(4) Subsection (1) applies to interests-

   (a)  whether direct or indirect, and whether or not pecuniary; and

   (b)  whether acquired before or after the member's appointment.
