    *Note: With respect to consultants, the Chancellor may determine in writing that a particular consultant, although a “designated person,” is hired to perform a range of duties that is limited in scope and thus is not required to comply with the disclosure requirements described in this section. Such determination shall include a description of the consultant's duties and, based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The Chancellor'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, § 81008.) Nothing herein excuses any such consultant from any other provision of the Conflict of Interest Code.
