Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 10, § 6400 - General Provisions
The Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 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 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 California Health Benefit Exchange "Exchange".
Designated employees shall file statements of economic interest with the Exchange. The Exchange shall make the statements available for public inspection and reproduction. (Government Code Section 81008). Upon receipt of the statements of Members of the Board and the Executive Director, the Exchange shall make and retain a copy and forward the original to the Fair Political Practices Commission. Members of the Board and the Executive Director may file electronically with the Fair Political Practices Commission. Statements for all other designated employees will be retained by the Exchange.
