OTHER POSITIONS

Consultants/New Positions

*

* Consultants/new positions shall be included in the list of designated positions and shall disclose pursuant to Category 1 subject to the following limitation:

The Commissioner or their designee may determine in writing that a particular consultant or new position, although a “designated position,” is hired to perform a range of duties that is limited in scope and thus is not required to comply fully with the disclosure requirements described in this section. Such written determination shall include a description of the consultant's or new position's duties and, based on that description, a statement of the extent of the disclosure requirements. The Commissioner's or their designee's determination is a public record and shall be retained for public inspection in the same manner and location as this conflict of interest code. (Gov. Code Sec. 81008.)

Note: The Insurance Commissioner is covered by Government Code Section 87200, and as such, must file a statement of economic interests pursuant to Government Code Section 87200 and not pursuant to the Department's conflict of interest code.

Note: Authority cited: Section 87300, Government Code. Reference: Sections 87302(a), 87302(b) and 87302(c), Government Code.

History

1. Repealer and new section 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).

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

3. Amendment filed 11-15-2005; operative 12-15-2005. Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 9-30-2005 (Register 2005, No. 46).

4. New appendix A heading, amendment of section heading and repealer and new section filed 4-12-2010; operative 5-12-2010. Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 3-3-2010 (Register 2010, No. 16).

5. Amendment filed 3-15-2012; operative 4-14-2012. Approved by Fair Political Practices Commission 1-11-2012 (Register 2012, No. 11).

6. 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. This conflict-of-interest code, which was originally effective on 12-15-2005, and is, therefore, the most recently legally adopted code, replaces the voided conflict-of-interest codes (Register 2013, No. 10).
