(b) Representation of Contractor. Before being awarded a state contract other than by procedures set forth in the Arkansas Procurement Law, § 19-11-201 et seq., and rules promulgated under the Arkansas Procurement Law, § 19-11-201 et seq., for small purchases, every person shall represent, in writing, that such person has not retained anyone in violation of subsection (a) of this section. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of ethical standards.
(c) Notice. The representation prescribed in subsection (b) of this section shall be conspicuously set forth in all contracts and solicitations therefor.
