The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation (2 Cal.Code Regs. § 18730) which contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code which can be incorporated by reference in the 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 future amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. Such regulation, and the attached Appendix designating officials and employees and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of Ironhouse Sanitary District.
