(a) No CalSTRS officer, employee or current Teachers' Retirement Board member, including the Controller, Treasurer, and Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make, participate in making or in any way attempt to use his or her official position to influence a decision involving an Investment Relationship with CalSTRS if the officer, employee or member has received, solicited or directed a campaign contribution, as defined in The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code, s 81000et seq.), valued in excess of $1,000, individually or $5000 in the aggregate, in any twelve month period prior to the dates identified in Section 24010, subdivision (e) from any person designated in Section 24010, subdivision (d). For purposes of this section, a member appointed by the Governor and the Director of Finance shall also be deemed to have received a contribution if the Governor who appointed the member or Director of Finance has received a contribution within the twelve month period prior to the dates identified in Section 24010, subdivision (e) from any person designated in Section 24010, subdivision (d).
(b) If the disqualification provision of subdivision (a) results in the lack of a quorum for the purposes of taking action on any item before the Board or any of its committees, a sufficient number of Board members to constitute a quorum shall be drawn by lot from the otherwise disqualified Board members for the purpose of establishing a quorum and taking action on items before the Board or any of its committees. Board members who have been drawn by lot to constitute a quorum shall have their participation deemed as necessary and shall be exempt from the restrictions of subdivision (a) for the purpose of establishing a quorum and participating in the deliberations and voting on an item for which a quorum could not be established absent this waiver of the restrictions of subdivision (a).
