     § 332.  Advisory groups.
        (a)  Procurement Advisory Council.--The department may
     establish a Procurement Advisory Council and allocate funds for
     it that may be available. If created, the council, upon adequate
     public notice, shall meet at least once a year for the
     discussion of problems and recommendations for improvement of
     the procurement process. When requested by the department, the
     council may conduct studies, research and analyses and make
     reports and recommendations with respect to subjects or matters
     within the jurisdiction of the department. The council may
     consist of any qualified persons the department deems
     appropriate.
        (b)  Other advisory groups.--The department may appoint
     advisory groups to assist with respect to specifications or
     procurement in specific areas and with respect to any other
     matters within the authority of the department.
        (c)  Reimbursement of expenses.--Members of the council and
     other advisory groups may be reimbursed for expenses incurred in
     the performance of their duties, subject to expenditure
     limitations prescribed by the department.
        (d)  Conflict of interest.--Members of the council and other
     advisory groups shall be considered State advisors under the act
     of July 19, 1957 (P.L.1017, No.451), known as the State Adverse
     Interest Act, and, as such, shall be subject to the prohibitions
     for State advisors set forth in that act, provided that a member
     shall not be deemed to have an adverse interest by virtue of any
     action taken by the council or other advisory groups if the
     member discloses the conflict of interest and properly recuses
     himself from participating in any recommendation of the council
     or an advisory group.
