vested in it by Sections 82011, 87303, and 87304 of

the Government Code to review proposed conict–of–

A written comment period has been established

commencing on Januar y 17, 2025, and closing on

Belen Cisneros, 1102 Q Street, Suite 3050, Sacramen-

to, California 95811.

At the end of the 45–day comment period, the pro-

posed conict–of–interest code will be submitted to

representative requests, no later than 15 days prior to

the close of the written comment period, a public hear-

ing before the full Commission. If a public hearing is

requested, the proposed code will be submitted to the

Commission for review.

The Executive Director of the Commission will

review the above–referenced conict–of–interest

code, proposed pursuant to Government Code Sec-

tion 87300, which designate, pursuant to Govern-

ment Code Section 87302, employees who must dis-

close certain investments, interests in real property

The Executive Director of the Commission, upon

ed person, will approve, or revise and approve, or

ments must be received no later than March 3, 2025. If

a public hearing is to be held, oral comments may be

presented to the Commission at the hearing.

COST TO LOCAL AGENCIES

There shall be no reimbursement for any new or in-

creased costs to local government which may result

from compliance with this code because these are not

new programs mandated on local agencies by the code

since the requirements described herein were man-

dated by the Political Reform Act of 1974. Therefore,

they are not “costs mandated by the state” as dened

in Government Code Section 17514.

EFFECT ON HOUSING

COSTS AND BUSINESSES

Compliance with the code has no potential eect

on housing costs or on pr ivate persons, businesses, or

small businesses.

provide that the Fair Political Practices Commission

as the code–reviewing body for the above conict–of–

interest code shall approve code as submitted, revise

the proposed code, and approve it as revised, or return

the proposed code for revision and re–submission.

REFERENCE

Government Code Sections 87300 and 87306

provide that agencies shall adopt and promulgate

conict–of–interest codes pursuant to the Political Re-

form Act and amend their codes when change is ne-

cessitated by changed circumstances.
