Form 700 - Statement of Economic Interests

The Political Reform Act requires that certain officials and employees who serve in positions designated in an agency's Conflict-of-Interest Code must file a Form 700 - State of Economic Interests.  The Code lists each position within the Agency filled by individuals who make or participate in making governmental decisions that could affect their personal economic interests.  Additionally, there are members of Boards, Commissions and Committees and Special Districts who are required to file a Form 700 - Statement of Economic Interests.

 

Types of Statements

Assuming Office Statement:  If you are a newly appointed or are newly employed in a position designated in an agency's Conflict of Interest Code, you must file your Form 700 - Statement of Economic Interests within 30 days of assuming office with your official filing officer.  Your assuming office date is the date you were sworn in or otherwise authorized to serve in the position.
