Practice question
A person serves government solely in an established honorary capacity. An official invokes Section9’s divestment exception as if it also repealed every anti-conflict ethical norm and all other laws for that person. Which distinction is correct?
- Honorary service creates unlimited legal immunity
- The stated divestment exception is not a blanket exemption from every ethical rule or separate law
- Every public-interest norm is repealed
- Only the person’s preferred business rule applies
- The exception means all conflicts are automatically lawful
