A member of the State Board of Education, the commissioner, an employee of the agency, or a person who provides services to the board that relate to the management or investment of the permanent school fund who has a business, commercial, or other relationship that could reasonably be expected to diminish the person’s independence of judgment in the performance of the person’s responsibilities relating to the management or investment of the fund shall disclose the relationship in writing to the board.

(b)
