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 (Title 2, California Code of Regulations (CCR), section Title 2, California Code of Regulations (CCR), section Title 2, California Code of Regulations (CCR), section 18730), which 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 it may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 CCR, section 2 CCR, section 2 CCR, section 18730, and any amendments to it, duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This section 1000, the attached Appendix, along with 2 CCR section 18730, designating officials and employees and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the Department of Managed Health Care (Department).

The Director shall file his/her statement of economic interests electronically with the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other individuals holding designated position shall file their statements with the Office of Legal Services of the Department, which will make statements available for public inspection and reproduction under Government Code Section 81008. All other statements will be retained by the Office of Legal Services of the Department.
