R 432.713a Member, employee, or agent of board; conduct generally.
Rule 713a. (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 it must include such information as necessary to
ensure the integrity of internet sports betting and 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, an employee, or an agent of the board
negotiates for, or acquires by any means, any interest in a licensee, applicant, or person
affiliated with a licensee or applicant, he or she must immediately provide written notice
of the details of the interest to the chairperson. The member, executive director,
employee, or agent of the board must not act on behalf of the board with respect to that
licensee, applicant, or person affiliated with the licensee or applicant.
(3) A member, the executive director, an employee, or an agent of the board may
enter into any negotiations for employment with a licensee, applicant, or affiliate of a
licensee or applicant. The member, executive director, employee, agent, licensee,
applicant, or affiliate must immediately notify the chairman 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.

employment application does not constitute negotiations for employment. The member,
executive director, employee, or agent of the board must not take any action on behalf of
the board with respect to that licensee, applicant, or person affiliated with a licensee or
applicant while the negotiations are ongoing. 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.
