Section 2600.1010 Exemptions
If the Procurement Officer finds
a conflict of interest under Section 50-13 of the Code with the vendor selected
for award or contract negotiations, the CPO may exempt named individuals from
the prohibitions of Section 50-13 of the Code when,
in its judgment, the
public interest in having the individual in the service of the State outweighs
the public policy evidenced in that Section
[30 ILCS 500/50-20].
