contract that entity finds that the commission of the offense was neither authorized, requested, commanded, nor performed by a

sentencing, provides that any person convicted of this offense or any similar offense of any state or the United States which contains

the same elements as this offense shall be permanently barred from contracting with any unit of State of Local government. No

any employee or agent of such corporation if the employee so convicted is no longer employed by the corporation and: (1) it has been
