2023 CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT The Political Reform Act, Government Code Sections 81000, et seq., requires

may 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, any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices
Commission, and all additional guidance by the Fair Political Practices Commission, are
hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendix designating
