A. Prior to board or committee action on a contract or transaction involving a conflict of interest, a director or committee member having a conflict of interest and who is in attendance at the meeting discloses all facts material to the conflict of interest. Such disclosure is reflected in the minutes of the meeting. B. A director or committee member who plans not to attend a meeting at which he or she has reason to believe that the board or committee will act on a matter in which the person has a conflict of interest discloses to the chair of the meeting all facts material to the conflict of interest. The chair reports the disclosure at the meeting and the disclosures reflected in the minutes of the meeting. C. A person who has a conflict of interest is unable to participate in or be permitted to hear the board's or committee's discussion of the matter except to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. Such person is unable to exert his or her personal influence with respect to the matter, either at or outside the meeting. D. A person who has a conflict of interest with respect to a contract or transaction that will be voted on at a meeting is not counted in determining the presence of a quorum for purposes of the vote. The person having a conflict of interest may not vote on the contract or transaction and may not be present in the meeting room when the vote is taken, unless the vote is by secret ballot. Such person's ineligibility to vote is reflected in the minutes of the meeting.
