Conflicts of Interest Disclosure Requirements 

All South Dakota state government boards and commissions are subject to the conflicts
of interest disclosure requirements contained in Chapter 3-23 of the South Dakota
Codified Laws. The GFP Commission will comply with the requirements of this law by
following a procedure for the conflict of interest disclosure. At the beginning of each
GFP Commission meeting, the chair reads paragraphs 1-5 and asks if any
commissioner has a conflict that needs to be disclosed. If any commissioner discloses
conflict, the chair will finish reading paragraphs 5-9. Then the Commission will
consider and act upon the conflict.
