It was defeated. The amendment proposed that the constitution be amended: Section 109. The amendment proposed to prohibit a public employee from using their official position within the government for gain in government contracts. The amendment also proposes to repeal Section 107, in which it is stated that all stationary, printing paper and fuel used by the legislature and other branches of government be furnished under contract and that no government employee, elected, hired or appointed, shall have interest in the contracted entity.
