the following restrictions apply to the commission and the director's
authority to employ individuals and to the duties of the individuals
employed by the commission:
(1) An individual may not be employed by the commission if the
individual has been convicted of or entered a plea of guilty or
nolo contendere to a felony committed in the preceding ten (10)
years, regardless of adjudication, unless the commission
determines that:
(A) the individual has been pardoned or the individual's civil
rights have been restored; or
(B) subsequent to the individual's conviction or entry of a plea

good citizenship that would reflect well upon the integrity of
the lottery.
(2) The director, a member, or an employee of the commission
having decision making authority may not participate in a
decision involving a vendor or retailer with whom the director,
member, or employee has a financial interest. An employee may
not participate in a decision involving a vendor or retailer with
whom the employee has discussed employment opportunities
without the approval of the director or, if the individual is the

the governor. An employee of the commission shall notify the
director of any employment opportunities discussed or, if the
individual is the director or a member of the commission, the
director or member shall notify the governor. A violation of this
subdivision is a Class A infraction.
(3) The director, a member, or an employee of the commission
who terminates employment with the commission may not
represent a vendor or retailer before the commission regarding a
specific matter that the director, member or employee was
involved in while serving as a director or member of or while
employed by the commission for one (1) year following the date
the director or member left the commission or the date of
cessation of employment with the commission. A violation of this
subdivision is a Class A infraction.
