There is a Code of Conduct relative to municipal contracts. This Code
of Conduct shall consist of the following prohibitions: No municipal officer,
employee or agent shall solicit or accept any gratuity, favor or anything
of monetary value from any contractor or potential contractor with the municipality
relative to the procurement of any supplies, equipment, construction and/or
other services with municipal, state and or federal grant funds; and the offering
and/or giving of any such matter of monetary value by such a contractor or
their agents to any municipal officer, employee or agent who violates any
provision of this chapter shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action
including, in the case of an officer, removal from office; in the case of
any employee, suspension or discharge from employment; and in the case of
an agent, termination of such agency.
Violation of any provisions of this chapter shall also constitute a
misdemeanor and may be punished as prescribed in the Criminal Code of the
State of New Hampshire, as may be amended from time to time.
