You are correct!

The facts of this scenario are:  

  • You are taking an official action by signing a contract.  
  • Signing this contract would result in a financial impact.  
  • That financial impact would be on your roommate, who is a household member (HB 2930, 2025).  

It’s easy to see that we have a conflict of interest and, since the financial impact is certain, it’s an actual conflict of interest. Nice job!
