3-Conflict of Interest Questionnaire.pdf

The document is a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (CIQ) from the City of San Angelo, Texas Purchasing Division, designed for vendors doing business with the local governmental entity. The form is based on changes made to the law by H.B. 23, 84th Legislature, Regular Session, and is required to be filed with the records administrator of the local governmental entity. The questionnaire is specifically intended to disclose any business relationships between vendors and local government officers or their family members that could potentially create a conflict of interest.

The form outlines detailed requirements for disclosure, including whether the vendor or a local government officer (or their family member) is receiving taxable income from each other, maintains business relationships with corporations where the officer serves as an officer or director, or has ownership interests. Vendors must complete the form if they have a business relationship with the local governmental entity, beginning discussions or negotiations for a contract, submitting an application or response to proposals, or becoming aware of an employment or gift-related connection to a local government officer. The Texas Ethics Commission provides this form, which was last revised on 11/30/2015, to ensure transparency and prevent potential conflicts of interest in local government transactions.
