Proposed Amendments to CCR Title 18, Rule 6001, General Provisions

The State Board of Equalization proposes to amend the California Code of Regulations, title 18, State Board of Equalization – Conflict of Interest, section 6001, General Provisions, Appendices A and B. The amendment to Appendix A will list all current Board positions, including officers and consultants, but not elected officers, such as the Board Members, that make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material financial effect on any financial interest. Each position will narrowly tailor to each position's job duties, and that the disclosure requirements differentiate between similar positions with different levels of responsibility. The amendment to Appendix B will ensure the categories sufficiently describe all reportable economic interests that designated employees are required to disclose in a clear, concise, and efficient manner.
