^* Consultants and new positions shall be included in the list of designated positions and shall disclose pursuant to the broadest disclosure category in the code, subject to the following limitation:

The Chief Deputy Treasurer may determine in writing that a particular consultant or new position, although a “designated position,” is hired to perform a range of duties that is limited in scope and thus is not required to fully comply with the disclosure requirements described in this section. Such determination shall include a description of the consultant's or new position's duties and, based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The Chief Deputy Treasurer's determination is a public record and shall be retained for public inspection in the same manner and location as this conflict-of-interest code. (Gov. Code Sec. 81008.)

Note: The State Treasurer is covered by Government Code Section 87200, and as such, must file a statement of economic interests pursuant to Government Code Section 87200 and not pursuant to the Department's conflict of interest code.

The following individuals are NOT covered by the code because they must file under Government Code Section 87200 and, therefore, are listed for informational purposes only:

An individual holding one of the above listed positions may contact the Fair Political Practices Commission for assistance or written advice regarding their filing obligations if they believe that their position has been categorized incorrectly. The Fair Political Practices Commission makes the final determination whether a position is covered by Government Code Section 87200.
