Boston, MA — The State Ethics Commission issued a formal opinion, EC-COI-24-1, stating that a state legislator who owns the property, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment of a facility that provides medical care and/or services to MassHealth recipients does not qualify for the exemption in G.L. c. 268A § 7 for state employees who provide goods and services to recipients of public assistance. Section 7, with limited exemptions, prohibits state employees from having a financial interest in a contract made by a state agency.
