Among other requirements, a Commissioner must disqualify herself or himself from voting on an entitlement for use, such as change of organization proposal, if, within the last twelve months, the Commissioner has received more than $250 in campaign contributions from an applicant or, in some instances, from an interested participant, or an agent representing the applicant or interested participant. Commissioners may also have to disqualify themselves if they have certain types of economic interests directly or indirectly involved in their decisions.
