Background on that. This language and thrust of this is really a basic tran parency issue. It would provide a way for these who recuse under the law, to do so for a good thing, in order to avoid conflicts. It would give the public a chance to understand repeated recusals, so there would be an opportunity to engage.

If there are three recusals as listed here, filed within a 365day period, or a 1 of all matters that have been appearing on the agenda, that would be something that the commission would then review. And in reviewing that, the commission would look to things like is the number of recusals by a particular commissioner significant .
