§ 5101. General Provisions.

The Political Reform Act of 1974 (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 (Title 2 California Code of Regulations section 18730) which 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, it may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of Title 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. These regulations and the attached Appendices, designating officials and employees and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of the Small Business Board and California Small Business Financial Development Corporations.

Designated persons identified in Appendix A shall file statements of economic interests with the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. Upon receipt of the statements from the Small Business Board, the Agency shall promptly make and retain a copy and forward the originals of the statements to the Fair Political Practices Commission. Statements for the Small Business Financial Development Corporations positions will be retained by the Agency.
