						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 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. This regulation and the attached Appendix designating officials
						and employees and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the
						conflict of interest code of the California Department of Social
						Services.
Designated employees shall file statements of economic
						interests with the California Department of Social Services. The Department
						shall make the statements available for public inspection, and reproduction,
						(Gov. Code Section
