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 Appendix, designating positions

and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict-of-interest code of the

Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (District).

Individuals holding designated positions shall file their statements of economic interests

with the District Secretary, who will make the statements available for public inspection and
