Article 1 - Conflict-of-Interest Code
Section 5000 - Conflict-of-Interest Code

The Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 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. Sec. 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 incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendices, designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict-of-interest code of the Delta Stewardship Council (Council).

Individuals holding designated positions shall file their statements of economic interests with the Council, which will make the statements available for public inspection and reproduction. (Gov. Code Sec. 81008.) Upon receipt of the statements for the Members of the Board and Executive Officer of the Council, the Council shall make and retain copies and forward the originals to the Fair Political Practices Commission. The Council shall forward copies of all other statements for appointed members of multi-member boards and commissions to the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other statements will be retained by the Council.
