Sec. 15.
(1) A local workforce development board and each member of the board shall avoid a conflict of interest with duties of the board. Except as provided in subsection (2), an individual shall not be appointed to or serve on a local workforce development board if he or she has an ownership interest in or is employed by an organization that receives money under the direct control of the board or if the individual engages in any other activity that creates a conflict of interest or what would appear to a reasonable person to be a conflict of interest.
(2) An individual who has an interest in or is employed by an entity that receives money under the partial or complete control of the local workforce development board may be appointed to or continue to serve on the board if the individual does not hold a policy-making position with the entity and would not receive other than a remote or incidental benefit from the board's decisions.
(3) The exception to the strict conflict of interest policy provided in subsection (2) applies to allow local workforce development board representation from entities such as a school that enrolls students with tuition paid from funds under the control of the board, a government agency from which representation is required, and an employer that accepts compensation for extraordinary costs of providing on-the-job training from funds under the board's control.
