§ 1020-aa. Conflicts of interest. 1. If any member, officer or employee of the authority shall have an interest, either direct or indirect, in any contract to which the authority is, or is to be, a party, such interest shall be disclosed to the authority in writing and shall be set forth in the minutes of the authority. The member, officer or employee having such interest shall not participate in any action by the authority with respect to such contract.

3. Nothing in this section shall be deemed or construed to limit the right of any member, officer or employee of the authority to acquire an interest in bonds or notes of the authority.
