The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016. Form 1295 must be completed online.

Subsection (c) of this section does not apply to an officer of a publicly held business entity or its wholly owned subsidiaries.

“Intermediary”, for purposes of this rule, means a person who actively participates in the facilitation of the contract or negotiating the contract, including a broker, adviser, attorney, or representative of or agent for the business entity who: (1) receives compensation from the business entity for the person’s participation; (2) communicates directly with the governmental entity or state agency on behalf of the business entity regarding the contract; and (3) is not an employee of the business entity.
