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 California Code of Regulations Section 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 California 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 Department of Insurance (Department).

The Insurance Commissioner, Chief Deputy Insurance Commissioner, Members of the Curriculum Board, and Members of the Fraud Assessment Commission must file their statement of economic interests electronically with the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other individuals holding designated positions must file their statements with the Department. All statements must be made available for public inspection and reproduction under Government Code Section 81008.

History

1. New Subchapter 6 (Sections 2690-2690.65) filed 5-2-77; effective thirtieth day thereafter. Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 3-17-77 (Register 77, No. 19).

2. Repealer of section and new introductory paragraphs filed 10-17-95; operative 11-16-95. Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 8-7-95. Submitted to OAL for printing only (Register 95, No. 42).

3. Amendment of introductory paragraphs filed 1-21-2003; operative 2-20-2003. Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 11-12-2002 (Register 2003, No. 4).

4. Amendment filed 4-12-2010; operative 5-12-2010. Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 3-3-2010 (Register 2010, No. 16).

5. Amendment of section heading and repealer and new section filed 3-4-2013; operative 4-3-2013 (FPPC regulations only subject to 1974 Administrative Procedure Act rulemaking requirements and not subject to procedural or substantive review by OAL). Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 1-15-2013 to replace the conflict-of-interest code amendments filed on 4-12-2010 and 3-15-2012, which are both void due to the agency's failure to properly follow the notice requirements of the Political Reform Act.
