(Amended December 7, 2022 December 16, 2020)
The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code § 81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes.

Code Regs. § 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing Regulation 18730 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 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This incorporation page, Regulation 18730 and the attached Appendix designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of the City of Corona (the “City”).

The City Clerk shall make and retain a copy of all statements filed by the Mayor, Members of the City Council and Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney/Legal & Risk Management Director and City Treasurer, and forward the originals of such statements to the Fair Political Practices Commission. The City Clerk shall retain the originals of the statements filed by all other officials and designated positions and will make all retained statements available for public inspection and reproduction during regular business hours. (Gov. Code § 81008.)
