Practice question
A Representative authors a bill that may create a conflict with her business interest. She disclosed that interest upon assumption but gives no notice to the House about this later potential conflict. Has initial disclosure necessarily satisfied the separate Section 12 duty?
- Yes, one disclosure eliminates all future duties.
- No; the Constitution also requires notice to the House of the potential conflict from legislation she authors.
- Yes, if the bill has a short title.
- Yes, if a private partner already knows.
- No, because every business interest permanently disqualifies a legislator.
