§ 13. Disqualification of commissioner, officers and employees.

Neither the commissioner, nor any officer or employee in the division of

housing shall acquire any interest direct or indirect in a project or in

any property then or thereafter included or planned to be included in a

project, nor retain any interest direct or indirect in any property

acquired subsequently to his appointment or employment which is later

included or to his knowledge planned to be included in a project, nor

shall he have any interest direct or indirect in any contract or

proposed contract for materials or services to be furnished or used in

connection with a project. If the commissioner or any officer or

employee in the division of housing owns or controls an interest direct

or indirect in any property included in any project, which was acquired

prior to his appointment or employment, he shall disclose such interest

and the date of acquisition thereof in writing to the governor or the

commissioner, as the case may be, and such disclosure shall be entered

in a special record of the division of housing kept for such purpose.
