Conflict of interest

Prescription Drug Affordability Board members abide by a conflict of interest policy to ensure they conduct board business for the benefit of the public and in the absence of personal, financial, or otherwise improper interests. The board abides by these requirements:

• Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 244
• Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 199,Oregon Government Ethics Commission (OGEC)
• PDAB Conflict of Interest Policy

Guidance regarding these laws can be found here:

• OGEC website
• Guidebook for public officials

Board members declare potential or actual conflicts of interest at the beginning of each board meeting. Declarations are included in the board meeting minutes, which are posted on the board calendar and materials web page. If an actual conflict of interest arises, board members fill out a conflict of interest form, submit to staff and the board chair and abstain from discussing or voting on the agenda item.
