In order to avoid conflicts of interest, the Legislature requests the University of California to develop and implement conflict-of-interest provisions to prohibit a person from participating in any analysis in which the person knows or has reason to know he or she has a material financial interest, including, but not limited to, a person who has a consulting or other agreement with a person or organization that would be affected by the legislation.
