(a) As a condition of receiving charter school aid, charter schools shall have policies that comply with the provisions of this section to ensure that the charter school shall maintain honest and ethical relations with vendors and shall guard against favoritism, improvidence, extravagance, and corruption in its contracting processes and practices. The terms "business entity" and "interest" as used below are defined as set forth in P.L. 2004, c. 19.

1. No board will vote upon or award any contract in the amount of $ 17,500 or greater to any business entity that has made a contribution reportable by the recipient under P.L. 1973, c. 83 (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-1 et seq.) to a member of the charter school board of trustees during the preceding one-year period.

2. Contributions reportable by the recipient under P.L. 1973, c. 83 (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-1 et seq.) to any member of the charter school board of trustees from any business entity doing business with the charter school are prohibited during the term of a contract.

3. When a business entity referred to in (a)2 above is a natural person, a contribution by that person's spouse or child who resides therewith shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity. Where a business entity is other than a natural person, a contribution by any person or other business entity having an interest therein shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity.

4. The disclosure requirement set forth in section 2 of P.L. 2005, c. 271 (19:44A-20.2 6) also shall apply when the contract is required by law to be publicly advertised for bids.

5. This subsection shall not apply to a contract when a charter school emergency requires the immediate delivery of goods or services.
