Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
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 any amendments to it duly
						adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby 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 Public Employees' Retirement System
						("CalPERS").
Designated employees, consultants, board members,
						designees or alternates, and candidates shall file their statements of economic
						interests with the CalPERS filing officer, who will make the statements
						available for public inspection and reproduction. (Gov. Code Sec.
						81008.) With respect to board
						members, designees or alternates, candidates, and the chief executive officer,
						CalPERS shall make and retain copies and forward the originals to the Fair
						Political Practices Commission. All other statements will be retained by
						CalPERS. While public officials who manage investments are not required to be
						listed in this code, those officials are listed at the end of this document for
						clarity. Unlike the designated positions, these officials' reporting
						obligations are not limited by reference to a reporting category.
