The Political Reform Act, (Government Code Sections 81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict-of-interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation (2 Cal. Code of Regs. Sect. 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict-of-interest code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency's code. After public notice and hearing, the standard code may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 Cal. Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendices, designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict-of-interest code of the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission).
Individuals holding designated positions shall file their statements of economic interests with the Energy Commission, which will make the statements available for public inspection and reproduction. (Gov. Code Section 81008.) Upon receipt of the statement for the Executive Director, the Energy Commission will make and retain a copy and forward the original statement to the Fair Political Practices Commission. The Energy Commission shall forward the original statements for appointed members of the Energy Commission to the Fair Political Practices Commission. The Energy Commission shall forward copies of statements for appointed members of all other multi-member boards and commissions to the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other statements will be retained by the Energy Commission.
