(5 ILCS 420/3‑302) (from Ch. 127, par. 603‑302)
Sec. 3‑302.
No person with whom a legislator maintains a close economic
association should accept an economic opportunity when he knows, or should
know, of the substantial possibility that it is being offered with intent
to influence that legislator's official conduct. Where feasible, a person
with a close economic association with a legislator should also decline to
accept an economic opportunity which presents a substantial threat to the
legislator's independence of judgment.
