Notice of Intention to Amend the Conflict of Interest Code of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, pursuant to the authority vested in it by section 87306 of the Government Code, proposes amendment to its conflict of interest code. A comment period has been established commencing on May 10, 2024 and closing on June 24, 2024. All inquiries should be directed to the contact listed below.

The California Labor and Workforce Development Agency proposes to amend its conflict of interest code to include employee positions that involve the making or participation in the making of decisions that may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest, as set forth in subdivision (a) of section 87302 of the Government Code. The amendment carries out the purposes of the law and no other alternative would do so and be less burdensome to affected persons.

Changes to the conflict of interest code include deletion of positions, addition of positions with disclosure categories, and other technical changes to reflect the current organizational structure of the Agency. Copies of the amended code are available and may be requested from the Contact Person set forth below.

Information on the code amendment is available on the agency’s internet site and/or attached to this email.

The proposed amendment and explanation of the reasons can be obtained from the agency’s contact.

Any interested person may submit written comments relating to the proposed amendment by submitting them no later than June 24, 2024 or at the conclusion of the public hearing, if requested, whichever comes later. At this time, no public hearing is scheduled. A person may request a hearing no later than June 10, 2024.

1. 1. Impose no mandate on local agencies or school districts.
   2. Impose no costs or savings on any state agency.
   3. Impose no costs on any local agency or school district that are required to be reimbursed under Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
   4. Will not result in any nondiscretionary costs or savings to local agencies.
