Enterprise State Community College will not employ any elected state official.

Enterprise State Community College will not enter into any personal or professional services contracts under which services are to be performed by an elected state official nor will it enter into any other type of contract or business relationship with any corporation, partnership,, company, joint venture, or other business entity in which any elected state official holds a financial interest of five percent (5%) or more.

All contracts of the kind described above shall contain a provision providing for the automatic cancellation of the contract upon the taking of elected state office by any person whose election would have prohibited the contract under the provisions of this policy if the person were to have been elected prior to the formation of the contract.
