The anti-bribery statement requirement applies to every time someone is elected, appointed, or reappointed to an office.

• A. True
• B. Only for elected officials
• C. Only for appointed officials
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Anti-bribery statements are tied to entering a role with authority, but they aren’t required every time someone is elected, appointed, or reappointed. In practice, many systems require a declaration when a person first takes office or when they move into a position with new duties or increased responsibility, especially if those duties involve procurement or decision-making over funds. If someone is merely reappointed to the same office and their duties stay the same, a new statement might not be needed. Because the rule can vary by jurisdiction and situation, the blanket claim that it applies every time isn’t correct.
