Section 40-9.5-110.5 - Directors - required policies
(1) The board of each cooperative electric association shall adopt written policies concerning:

(b) The requirements and procedures for a director on the board of directors to disclose in writing any conflicts of interest. At a minimum, an association's policy must require disclosure when a decision before the board could provide directly and as a proximate result of the decision a financial or other material benefit to:
(I) The director, if the benefit is unique to that director and not shared by similarly situated cooperative members;
(II) A parent, grandparent, spouse, partner in a civil union, child, or sibling of the director, if the benefit is unique to that person and not shared by similarly situated cooperative members; or
(III) An entity in which the director is an officer or director or has a financial interest unique to that director.
(2)
(a) Subject to subsection (2)(b) of this section, a director on the board of directors shall at all times fulfill the director's duty of loyalty to the association and shall not allow a conflict of interest to impair the director's loyalty to the association.
(b) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, if an individual is a director on the board of directors of both a distribution cooperative electric association and a generation and transmission cooperative electric association, the director owes fiduciary duties to both associations and shall not be required to give priority to a fiduciary duty the director owes to one association over the duties the director owes to the other association.
