SEAC 84-24

A state employee should not accept employment which he might reasonably expect would require or induce him to disclose confidential information acquired by reason of his official position nor should he accept other employment which could reasonably be expected to impair his independence of judgment in the performance of his official duties. Although, there is no limit on the amount of compensation that a state employee can accept for services rendered to a private corporation outside of his state working hours, that amount may be such as to affect his independence of judgment in violation of art. 6252-9b. The executive director of a state agency is required to report the source of such compensation on the financial statement filed with the secretary of state under art. 6252-9b.
