Summary


Rule 34-18.001 defines the term "disproportionate benefit" to mean a benefit, privilege, exemption, or result not available to similarly situated persons. It then lists factors that the Commission should consider in determining whether a particular benefit, privilege, exemption, or result constitutes a "disproportionate benefit." Finally, it states the requisite intent for finding a violation of the prohibition found in Article II, Section 8(h)(2) of the Florida Constitution is whether a public officer or public employee acted, or refrained from acting, with knowledge that his or her action or failure to act would result in a disproportionate benefit.
