SEC. 3.1-135. ASIAN ART MUSEUM.
§ 3.1-135
Designated positions at the Asian Art Museum must disclose financial interests in businesses that buy, sell, or handle Asian art or install/maintain security systems within or potentially doing business in San Francisco.
If you work as a Commissioner, Director, Chief Curator, or Curator at the Asian Art Museum, you must tell the city about any money you make from or own in companies that deal with Asian art, or that install or maintain security systems. This includes companies that currently do business in San Francisco, have done business here in the last two years, or might do business here in the future.
- Complex:The disclosure rule spans multiple business categories (art buying/selling, security systems) and extends to past activity (two years) and future possibility (foreseeably), creating ambiguity in what exactly must be reported.
- Could be simpler:The section could clarify whether 'installing or maintaining security systems' applies only to museum-related systems or any such business, and define 'foreseeably do business' with a clearer standard.
