§ 17316 Director Conflict Restrictions

This law says that if you're a director in a government department, you can't also work for any group or place that your department checks or watches over.

Key Takeaways

  • •If you're a director in a government department, you can't work for any place your department checks.
  • •This rule is to stop people from using their power to help their other job.
  • •It keeps things fair and stops problems before they start.

Example

Imagine you work as a director for the Department of Education. You can't also be a principal at a school because your department checks on schools.

The law stops you from having two jobs where one job checks on the other. This keeps things fair and stops people from helping their other job because of their power.
