(1) Any stock, bond, security, or other interest, legal or equitable, that such person or his or her spouse or minor child directly or indirectly held in, and any income or any other benefit with monetary value, including reimbursed expenses, that such person or his or her spouse or minor child derived directly or indirectly from, any public body whose employees such labor organization represents or is actively seeking to represent, except payments and other benefits received as a bona fide employee of such public body;
Terms Used In Missouri Laws 105.535
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
- person: may extend and be applied to bodies politic and corporate, and to partnerships and other unincorporated associations. See Missouri Laws 1.020

(3) Any stock, bond, security, or other interest, legal or equitable, that such person or his or her spouse or minor child directly or indirectly held in, and any income or any other benefit with monetary value, including reimbursed expenses, that such person or his or her spouse or minor child derived directly or indirectly from, any business a substantial part of which consists of buying from, selling or leasing to, or otherwise dealing with the business of a public body whose employees such labor organization represents or is actively seeking to represent;
