§ 18730. Provisions of Conflict of Interest Codes
(a) Incorporation by reference of the terms of this regulation along with the designation of employees and the formula-
tion of disclosure categories in the Appendix referred to below constitute the adoption and promulgation of a conflict of
interest code within the meaning of Government Code section 87300 or the amendment of a conflict of interest code
within the meaning of Government Code section 87306 if the terms of this regulation are substituted for terms of a con-
flict of interest code already in effect. A code so amended or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of report-
able items in a manner substantially equivalent to the requirements of article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act,
Government Code sections 81000, et seq. The requirements of a conflict of interest code are in addition to other re-
quirements of the Political Reform Act, such as the general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Gov-
ernment Code section 87100, and to other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.
(b) The terms of a conflict of interest code amended or adopted and promulgated pursuant to this regulation are as
follows:
(1) Section 1. Definitions.
The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974, regulations of the Fair Political Practices
Commission (2 Cal. Code of Regs. sections 18110, et seq.), and any amendments to the Act or regulations, are in-
corporated by reference into this conflict of interest code.
(2) Section 2. Designated Employees.
The persons holding positions listed in the Appendix are designated employees. It has been determined that these
persons make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on economic inter-
ests.
(3) Section 3. Disclosure Categories.
This code does not establish any disclosure obligation for those designated employees who are also specified in
Government Code section 87200 if they are designated in this code in that same capacity or if the geographical jurisdic-
tion of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction in which those persons must report their
economic interests pursuant to article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Government Code sections 87200, et
seq.
In addition, this code does not establish any disclosure obligation for any designated employees who are designated
in a conflict of interest code for another agency, if all of the following apply:
(A) The geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction of the
other agency;
(B) The disclosure assigned in the code of the other agency is the same as that required under article 2 of chapter 7
of the Political Reform Act, Government Code section 87200; and

Page 6
2 CCR 18730
No designated employee shall make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use his or her official position
to influence the making of any governmental decision which he or she knows or has reason to know will have a rea-
sonably foreseeable material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, on the official or a
member of his or her immediate family or on:
(A) Any business entity in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect investment worth two thousand
dollars ($ 2,000) or more;
(B) Any real property in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect interest worth two thousand dollars
($ 2,000) or more;
(C) Any source of income, other than gifts and other than loans by a commercial lending institution in the regular
course of business on terms available to the public without regard to official status, aggregating five hundred dollars ($
500) or more in value provided to, received by or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the

No designated employee shall be prevented from making or participating in the making of any decision to the ex-
tent his or her participation is legally required for the decision to be made. The fact that the vote of a designated em-

poses of this section.

In addition to the general disqualification provisions of section 9, no state administrative official shall make, par-
ticipate in making, or use his or her official position to influence any governmental decision directly relating to any con-
tract where the state administrative official knows or has reason to know that any party to the contract is a person with
whom the state administrative official, or any member of his or her immediate family has, within 12 months prior to the
time when the official action is to be taken:
(A) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public, regarding
any investment or interest in real property; or
(B) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public regarding the
rendering of goods or services totaling in value one thousand dollars ($ 1,000) or more.
(10) Section 10. Disclosure of Disqualifying Interest.

has a disqualifying interest in it, the determination not to act may be accompanied by disclosure of the disqualifying
interest.
(11) Section 11. Assistance of the Commission and Counsel.
Any designated employee who is unsure of his or her duties under this code may request assistance from the Fair
Political Practices Commission pursuant to Government Code section 83114 and 2 Cal. Code Regs. sections 18329 and
18329.5 or from the attorney for his or her agency, provided that nothing in this section requires the attorney for the
agency to issue any formal or informal opinion.
(12) Section 12. Violations.

the administrative, criminal and civil sanctions provided in the Political Reform Act, Government Code sections 81000-
91014. In addition, a decision in relation to which a violation of the disqualification provisions of this code or of Gov-
ernment Code section 87100 or 87450 has occurred may be set aside as void pursuant to Government Code section
91003.

n 1 Designated employees who are required to file statements of economic interests under any other agency's con-
flict of interest code, or under article 2 for a different jurisdiction, may expand their statement of economic interests to
cover reportable interests in both jurisdictions, and file copies of this expanded statement with both entities in lieu of
filing separate and distinct statements, provided that each copy of such expanded statement filed in place of an, original
is signed and verified by the designated employee as if it were an original. See Government Code section 81004.
n2 See Government Code section 81010 and 2 Cal. Code of Regs. section 18115 for the duties of filing officers and
persons in agencies who make and retain copies of statements and forward the originals to the filing officer.
n3 For the purpose of disclosure only (not disqualification), an interest in real property does not include the princi-
pal residence; of the filer.
n4 Investments and interests in real property which have a fair market value of less than $ 2,000 are not invest-
ments and interests in real property within the meaning of the Political Reform Act. However, investments or interests
in real property of an individual include those held by the individual's spouse and dependent children as well as a pro
rata share of any investment or interest in real property of any business entity or trust in which the individual, spouse
and dependent children own, in the aggregate, a direct, indirect or beneficial interest of 10 percent or greater.
n5 A designated employee's income includes his or her community property interest in the income of his or her
spouse but does not include salary or reimbursement for expenses received from a state, local or federal government
agency.
n6 Income of a business entity is reportable if the direct, indirect or beneficial interest of the filer and the filer's
spouse in the business entity aggregates a 10 percent or greater interest. In addition, the disclosure of persons who are
clients or customers of a business entity is required only if the clients or customers are within one of the disclosure cate-
gories of the filer.
