    5         Section 1. Subsection (2) of section 112.3143, Florida
    6  Statutes, is amended to read:
    7         112.3143 Voting conflicts.—
    8         (2)(a) A state public officer, other than a member of the
    9  Legislature, may not vote on any matter that the officer knows
   10  would inure to his or her special private gain or loss. Any
   11  state public officer who abstains from voting in an official
   12  capacity upon any measure that the officer knows would inure to
   13  the officer’s special private gain or loss, or who votes in an
   14  official capacity on a measure that he or she knows would inure
   15  to the special private gain or loss of any principal by whom the
   16  officer is retained or to the parent organization or subsidiary
   17  of a corporate principal by which the officer is retained, other
   18  than an agency as defined in s. 112.312(2); or which the officer
   19  knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of a
   20  relative or business associate of the public officer, shall make
   21  every reasonable effort to disclose the nature of his or her
   22  interest as a public record in a memorandum filed with the
   23  person responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting, who
   24  shall incorporate the memorandum in the minutes. If it is not
   25  possible for the state public officer to file a memorandum
   26  before the vote, the memorandum must be filed with the person
   27  responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting no later
   28  than 15 days after the vote.
   29         (b) A member of the Legislature shall disclose any matter
   30  that the member knows would inure to his or her special private
   31  gain or loss; that he or she knows would inure to the special
   32  private gain or loss of any principal by whom he or she is
   33  retained, other than an agency as defined in s. 112.312(2); or
   34  that he or she knows would inure to the special private gain or
   35  loss of a relative or business associate of the member, upon
   36  being called to vote on a measure. Regardless of whether the
   37  member abstains from voting or votes on the measure, the member
   38  shall disclose the nature of his or her interest as a public
   39  record in a memorandum filed with the Secretary of the Senate or
   40  the Clerk of the House of Representatives as soon as he or she
   41  is aware of the conflict. If the member abstains from voting on
   42  the measure, he or she must also state the reasons for
   43  abstaining before the body which shall be recorded in the
   44  journal of his or her respective house. If the member becomes
   45  aware of the conflict during a committee, subcommittee, council,
   46  caucus, or other meeting, or during a sitting on the floor, the
   47  member must report the conflict as soon as possible after
   48  conclusion of the meeting or adjournment of the sitting may
   49  satisfy the disclosure requirements of this section by filing a
   50  disclosure form created pursuant to the rules of the member’s
   51  respective house if the member discloses the information
   52  required by this subsection.
