The New Jersey Conflicts of Interest Law, N.J.S.A. 52:13D-12 et seq., contains the following legislative findings: To ensure propriety and preserve public confidence, persons serving in government should have the benefit of specific standards to guide their conduct and of some disciplinary mechanism to ensure the uniform maintenance of those standards amongst them. Therefore, to guide and govern the conduct of State officers and employees of the New Jersey Historic Trust, the following rules and regulations are hereby adopted by the New Jersey Historic Trust pursuant to Section 12 of the New Jersey Conflicts of Interest Law, N.J.S.A 52:13D-23. I. Definitions 1. As used in the Code of Ethics, and unless a different meaning clearly applies from the context, the following terms shall have the following meanings: Trust means the New Jersey Historic Trust. Members means trustees of the New Jersey Historic Trust who receive no compensation other that a sum in reimbursement of expenses in the office and are, therefore, special State Officers within meaning of N.J.S.A. 52:13D-13(e). Employee means any person holding employment in the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs who is deemed to be principally employed in connection with the work of the Trust, but shall not mean any person employed in the capacity of an evaluator. Evaluator means a person who is recognized as knowledgeable in a particular area of historic preservation and is retained or serves on a part time and temporary basis for the limited purpose of evaluating the merit of feasibility of a historic preservation project(s) designated by the Trust employee as that term is used in this Code. II. Employees 2. No employee shall have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect, or engage in any business or transaction or professional activity, which is in conflict with the proper discharge of his duties in the public interest. 3. No employee shall use or attempt to use his official position to secure unwarranted privileges or advantages for himself or others. 4. No employee shall act in his official capacity in any matter wherein he has a direct or indirect personal or financial interest that might reasonably be expected to impair his objectivity or independence of judgment. 5. No employee shall undertake any employment or service, whether compensated or not, which might reasonably be expected to impair his objectivity and independence of judgment in the exercise of his official duties. 6. No employee shall accept any gift, favor, service or other things of value under circumstances from which it might be reasonably inferred that such gift, service or other things of value was given or offered for the purpose of influencing him in the discharge of his official duties. 7. No employee shall knowingly act in any way that might reasonably be expected to create an impression or suspicion among the public having knowledge of his acts that he may be engaged in conduct violative of historic trust as an employee. III. Evaluators 8. No person retained by the Trust in the capacity of an evaluator shall have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect, or engage in any business or professional activity, which is in conflict with proper discharge of this duties, specifically to provide the Trust with an objective evaluation of the merit and feasibility of programs and/or projects designated by the Trust. Any prospective evaluator with reason to believe he may have such an interest in an individual or organization associated with a program must provide the Trust, or its designated member or members or Executive Director, with written notice prior to accepting any appointment as an evaluator. Further, the evaluator shall not participate in or be present for the discussion and recommendation regarding said program or project made to the Trust. An evaluator shall receive a copy of this Code prior to appointment by the Trust, and such receipt shall be acknowledged in writing to the Executive Director. IV. Members 9. No member of the Trust shall have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect, or engage in any business or transaction or professional activity, which is in conflict with proper discharge of his duties. Any member with reason to believe he may have such an interest in an individual or organization seeking funding from the Trust must provide the Trust, or its designated member or members or Executive Director, with written notice. During his term of office, a member shall not appear for, negotiate on behalf of, or agree to represent in any discussion, proceedings, evaluations or negotiations, any organization, which has applied for, or received funds from the New Jersey Historic Trust. Further, the member shall not be present for any discussion, recommendation, or vote regarding any such organization. 10. No member shall use confidential information, i.e. information that is not available to the public, obtained through his service to the Board of Trustees to further his own private interests or the interest of others. 11. No member shall use or attempt to use official position to secure unwarranted privileges or advantages for himself or others. 12. No member shall accept any gift, favor, service or other things of value under circumstances from which it might be reasonably inferred that such gift, service or other things of value was given or offered for the purpose of influencing him in the discharge of his official duties. 13. No member shall knowingly act in any way that might reasonably be expected to create an impression or suspicion among the public having knowledge of his acts that he may be engaged in conduct violative of historic trust as an employee. 14. No member, subsequent to his term, shall appear before the Trust to represent or negotiate on behalf of any person or organization in connection with any matter upon which he has given any opinion or been otherwise substantially and directly involved while serving as a member. V. Enforcement Violations of the Code of Ethics shall be cause for removal, suspension, demotion or other disciplinary actions by the Trust after opportunity for adequate hearing has been afforded; however, no action for removal or discipline shall be taken except upon the referral or with the approval of the Executive Commission on Ethical Standards as provided by N.J.S.A. 52:13D-23. Every employee, evaluator and member shall receive a copy of this Code prior to appointment, or employment by the Trust, and such receipt shall be acknowledged in writing to the Executive Director.
