Sec. 5.5. (a) A current state officer, employee, or special state appointee may not knowingly do any of the following:
(1) Accept other employment involving compensation of substantial value if the responsibilities of that employment are inherently incompatible with the responsibilities of public office or require the individual's recusal from matters so central or critical to the performance of the individual's official duties that the individual's ability to perform those duties would be materially impaired.
(2) Accept employment or engage in business or professional activity that would require the individual to disclose confidential information that was gained in the course of state employment.

(A) of substantial value; and
(B) not properly available to similarly situated individuals outside state government.
(b) A written advisory opinion issued by the commission stating that an individual's outside employment does not violate subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) is conclusive proof that the individual's outside employment does not violate subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2).
