The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G. S. 143B‑350 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"(o)	Additional Ethics Requirements. – Board members shall sign a sworn statement that they will abide by the disclosure, ethics, and education requirements of this section and of Chapter 138A of the General Statutes. Following the convening of each Board of Transportation meeting, and prior to the conduct of business, each Board member shall sign a sworn statement that the member has no financial, professional, or other interest in any project being considered on the meeting agenda. To the extent the Board member has such an interest, the Chair and member shall take all appropriate steps to ensure that the interest is properly evaluated and addressed in accordance with law, and that the member is not permitted to act on any matter in which the member has a disqualifying conflict of interest."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
