The secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet shall <br>not prequalify a supplier as a responsible prospective contractor until the supplier <br>provides the secretary with his sworn statement made under penalty of perjury that he has <br>not knowingly violated any provision of the campaign finance laws of the <br>Commonwealth and that the award of a contract to the supplier will not violate any <br>provision of the campaign finance laws of the Commonwealth. &quot;Knowingly&quot; means, with <br>respect to conduct or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense, that a <br>person is aware or should have been aware that his conduct is of that nature or that the <br>circumstance exists.
