Background
A state employee is leaving state employment with INDOT to take a position in the private sector. He is retiring from INDOT after 31+ years of service, the last 12 of which were as an Area Engineer in Construction in the Greenfield District. His new employer is Chicago Testing Laboratory (CTU), whose home office is in Thornton, Illinois.
During his employment with INDOT, the state employee has never had any involvement with CTL. He has not administered any contracts that involved CTL, nor has CTL ever done work for INDOT in the Greenfield District.
Issue
Will the state employee's post employment with CTL violate IC 4-2-6-11, the post employment statute?
Relevant Law
IC 4-2-6-11Conclusion
The state employee has had no contact with his future employer that would invoke the prohibitions of the post employment statute. His future employment with CTL does not violate the statute.
