Section 18735.5 - Filing Dates for Assuming Office, Annual, or Leaving Office Statements of Economic Interests for Multi-Agency Filers of Joint Powers Insurance Agencies
(a) An individual who holds a designated position with more than one joint powers insurance agency may elect to file a single multi-agency statement of economic interests pursuant to the filing requirements set forth below in lieu of filing disclosure statements with each agency.
(1) The multi-agency statement of economic interests shall be filed with the Commission and, in addition, a declaration shall be filed with each agency at which the individual is designated in the conflict of interest code. The declaration shall state that the individual's statement of economic interests is on file with the Commission and available upon request.
(2) The multi-agency statement of economic interests shall disclose all investments in entities doing business in the state, all interests in real property located within the state, and all income (including loans, gifts and travel payments) received during the applicable time period.
(b) Time of Filing and Content of Statements of Economic Interests.
(1) Assuming Office Statements of Economic Interest:
(A) The multi-agency assuming office statement of economic interests shall be filed within 30 days of assuming office with a second joint powers insurance agency. This multi-agency assuming office statement of economic interests will satisfy the reporting requirements for any additional joint powers insurance agency in which the individual serves as long as the individual is continuously designated in the conflict of interest code of at least two joint powers insurance agencies.
(B) The multi-agency assuming office statement of economic interests shall disclose reportable investments and interests in real property held on the date of assuming office, as well as income (including loans, gifts and travel payments) received during the 12 months prior to assuming office.
(2) Annual Statements of Economic Interests:
(A) The multi-agency annual statements of economic interests shall be filed by April 1, each year. A multi-agency annual statement of economic interests may be filed as long as the individual is continuously designated in the conflict of interest code of at least two joint powers insurance agencies.
(B) The multi-agency annual statement of economic interests shall disclose reportable investments and interests in real property held, and income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received during the previous calendar year, provided that the period covered on the first multi-agency annual statement shall begin on the day after the last day of the period reported by the individual in the individual's multi-agency assuming office statement of economic interests.
(C) If an individual assumes office between October 1 and December 31 and files a multi-agency assuming office statement of economic interests pursuant to this section, that individual need not file an annual statement of economic interests until one year later than the date applicable under subdivision (b)(2)(A) above.
(3) Leaving Office Statements:
(A) The multi-agency leaving office statement of economic interests shall be filed within 30 days of leaving office as defined in this subdivision. As used in subdivision (b)(3) of this regulation, the date of "leaving office" for a multi-agency filer is the date the filer is no longer designated in the conflict of interest codes of at least two joint powers insurance agencies. A filer who continues to serve for a single joint powers insurance agency must file statement of economic interests under that agency's conflict of interest code.
(B) The multi-agency leaving office statement of economic interests shall disclose reportable investments and interests in real property held, and income (including loans, gifts and travel payments) received during the period between the closing date of the last multi-agency statement filed and the date of leaving office.
(C) If an individual leaves office as defined in subdivision (b)(3)(A) of this regulation between January 1 and the filing deadline for the individual's multi-agency annual statement of economic interests, the multi-agency leaving and annual statement of economic interests may be combined as long as the combined multi-agency statement of economic interests is filed within 30 days of leaving office or by April 1, whichever is the earlier due date.
(c) Multi-agency filers must list in any multi-agency statement of economic interests filed pursuant to this regulation all of the joint powers insurance agencies for which the filer is designated in the conflict of interest code.
(d) The requirements of this regulation are in addition to any other requirements imposed on designated employees with statewide jurisdiction.
