these rules, or any resolution or order of the board, or for any other action that the board

History: 2023 MR 20, Eff. Oct. 11, 2023.
R 432.513a Member, executive director, board employee, or agent; conduct
generally.
Rule 513a. (1) By January 31 of each year, each member, the executive director, and all
employees of the board shall file 1 or more board disclosure forms. The board shall
determine the contents of the form, but the form must include any information that is
necessary to ensure the integrity of fantasy contests and the disclosure of all relevant
financial information. The form may be combined with similar forms required by other
acts or rules.
(2) If a member, the executive director, a board employee, or an agent negotiates for, or
acquires by any means, any interest in a fantasy contest operator, licensed management
company, applicant, or affiliate, he or she must immediately provide written notice of the
details of the interest to the chairperson. The member, executive director, board employee,
or agent must not act on behalf of the board with respect to that fantasy contest operator,
licensed management company, applicant, or affiliate.
(3) A member, the executive director, a board employee, or an agent may enter into any
negotiations for employment with a fantasy contest operator, licensed management
company, applicant, or affiliate. The member, executive director, board employee, agent,
fantasy contest operator, licensed management company, applicant, or affiliate must
immediately notify the chairperson and the executive director once the invitation to
negotiate has been extended. A potential employer asking if an individual would be
interested in a position or explaining the nature of a position does not constitute
negotiations for employment. Further, an individual completing an employment
application does not constitute negotiations for employment. The member, executive
director, board employee, or agent must not take any action on behalf of the board with
respect to that fantasy contest operator, licensed management company, applicant, or
affiliate while the negotiations are ongoing.
(4) All members, the executive director, board employees, agents, and contractors must,
to the maximum extent possible, avoid situations, relationships, or associations that may
represent or lead to an actual or perceived conflict of interest.
(5) A member, the executive director, a board employee, or an agent or their spouse may
not accept any gift, gratuity, compensation, travel, lodging, or anything of value, directly
or indirectly, from any fantasy contest operator, licensed management company, applicant,
affiliate, or representative, unless the acceptance conforms to a written policy issued by the
chairperson or his or her designee. The chairperson or his or her designee may exempt
attendance at a reception and food and drink for immediate consumption from this policy.
