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 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 into the Conflict of Interest Code for the California Privacy Protection Agency. This regulation and the attached Appendices, designating positions, and establishing disclosure requirement categories, shall constitute the Conflict of Interest code of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).

The statement of economic interests for the CPPA Board Members and the Executive Director shall be filed electronically with the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other individuals holding designated positions shall file their statements with the CPPA. All statements must be made available for public inspection and reproduction (Gov. Code Sec. 81008).
