official or filing officer.
Statements postmarked by the filing deadline are considered filed
on time.
Statements of 30 pages or less may be emailed or faxed by the
deadline as long as the originally signed paper version is sent by
first class mail to the filing official within 24 hours.
Assuming Office and Leaving Office Statements
Most filers file within 30 days of assuming or leaving office
or within 30 days of the effective date of a newly adopted or
amended conflict of interest code.
Exception:
If you assumed office between October 1,2021, and
December 31, 2021, and filed an assuming office statement,
you are not required to file an annual statement until March
1, , 2023, or April 1, 2023, whichever is applicable. The annual
statement will cover the day after you assumed office through
December 31, 2022. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 6, for
additional exceptions.
Candidate Statements
File no later than the final filing date for the declaration of
candidacy or nomination documents. A candidate statement is
not required if you filed an assuming office or annual statement
for the same jurisdiction within 60 days before filing a declaration
of candidacy or other nomination documents.
Late Statements
There is no provision for filing deadline extensions unless
the filer is serving in active military duty. (See page 19 for
information on penalties and fines.)
Amendments
Statements may be amended at any time. You are only required
to amend the schedule that needs to be revised. It is not
necessary to amend the entire filed form. Obtain amendment
schedules at www.fppc.ca.gov.
Types of Statements
Assuming Office Statement:
If you are a newly appointed official or are newly employed
in a position designated, or that will be designated, in
a state or local agency’s conflict of interest code, your
assuming office date is the date you were sworn in or
otherwise authorized to serve in the position. If you are a
newly elected official, your assuming office date is the date
you were sworn in.
• Report: Investments, interests in real property, and
business positions held on the date you assumed the
office or position must be reported. In addition, income
(including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received
during the 12 months prior to the date you assumed the
office or position.
For positions subject to confirmation by the State Senate
or the Commission on Judicial Appointments, your
assuming office date is the date you were appointed or
nominated to the position.
• Example: Maria Lopez was nominated by the Governor
to serve on a state agency board that is subject to state
Senate confirmation. The assuming office date is the
date Maria’s nomination is submitted to the Senate.
Maria must report investments, interests in real
property, and business positions she holds on that date,
and income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments)
received during the 12 months prior to that date.
If your office or position has been added to a newly
adopted or newly amended conflict of interest code, use
the effective date of the code or amendment, whichever is
applicable.
• Report: Investments, interests in real property, and
business positions held on the effective date of the
code or amendment must be reported. In addition,
income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments)
received during the 12 months prior to the effective date
of the code or amendment.
Annual Statement:
Generally, the period covered is January 1, 2021,
through December 31, 2021. If the period covered by
the statement is different than January 1, 2021, through
December 31, 2021, (for example, you assumed office
between October 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020 or you
are combining statements), you must specify the period
covered.
• Investments, interests in real property, business
positions held, and income (including loans, gifts, and
travel payments) received during the period covered
by the statement must be reported. Do not change the
preprinted dates on Schedules A-1, A-2, and B unless
you are required to report the acquisition or disposition
of an interest that did not occur in 2021.
• If your disclosure category changes during a reporting
period, disclose under the old category until the effective
date of the conflict of interest code amendment and
disclose under the new disclosure category through the
end of the reporting period.
Leaving Office Statement:
Generally, the period covered is January 1, 2021, through
the date you stopped performing the duties of your position.
If the period covered differs from January 1, 2021, through
the date you stopped performing the duties of your position
(for example, you assumed office between October 1, 2020,
and December 31, 2020, or you are combining statements),
the period covered must be specified. The reporting period
can cover parts of two calendar years.
• Report: Investments, interests in real property, business
positions held, and income (including loans, gifts, and
travel payments) received during the period covered by
the statement. Do not change the preprinted dates on
Schedules A-1, A-2, and B unless you are required to
report the acquisition or disposition of an interest that did
not occur in 2021.
Candidate Statement:
If you are filing a statement in connection with your
candidacy for state or local office, investments, interests in
real property, and business positions held on the date of
filing your declaration of candidacy must be reported. In
addition, income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments)
received during the 12 months prior to the date of filing your
declaration of candidacy is reportable. Do not change the
preprinted dates on Schedules A-1, A-2, and B.
Candidates running for local elective offices (e.g., county
sheriffs, city clerks, school board trustees, or water district
board members) must file candidate statements, as required
by the conflict of interest code for the elected position.
The code may be obtained from the agency of the elected
position.
Amendments:
If you discover errors or omissions on any statement, file
an amendment as soon as possible. You are only required
to amend the schedule that needs to be revised; it is not
necessary to refile the entire form. Obtain amendment
schedules from the FPPC website at www.fppc.ca.gov.
Note: Once you file your statement, you may not withdraw it.
All changes must be noted on amendment schedules.
Expanded Statement:
If you hold multiple positions subject to reporting
requirements, you may be able to file an expanded
statement for each position, rather than a separate and
distinct statement for each position. The expanded statement
must cover all reportable interests for all jurisdictions and
list all positions for which it is filed. The rules and processes
governing the filing of an expanded statement are set forth in
Regulation 18723.1

CALIFORNIA FORM
Instructions
Cover Page
Enter your name, mailing address, and daytime telephone
number in the spaces provided. Because the Form 700 is a
public document, you may list your business/office address
instead of your home address.
Part 1. Office, Agency, or Court
•Enter the name of the office sought or held, or the agency or
court. Consultants must enter the public agency name rather
than their private firm’s name. (Examples: State Assembly;
Board of Supervisors; Office of the Mayor; Department of
Finance; Hope County Superior Court).
•Indicate the name of your division, board, or district, if
applicable. (Examples: Division of Waste Management;
Board of Accountancy; District 45). Do not use acronyms.
•Enter your position title. (Examples: Director; Chief Counsel;
City Council Member; Staff Services Analyst).
•If you hold multiple positions (i.e., a city council member who
also is a member of a county board or commission) you may
be required to file separate and distinct statements with each
agency. To simplify your filing obligations, in some cases you
may instead complete a single expanded statement and file it
with each agency.
•The rules and processes governing the filing of an
expanded statement are set forth in Regulation 18723.1.
To file an expanded statement for multiple positions, enter
the name of each agency with which you are required to
file and your position title with each agency in the space
provided. Do not use acronyms. Attach an additional
sheet if necessary. Complete one statement disclosing
all reportable interests for all jurisdictions. Then file the
expanded statement with each agency as directed by
Regulation 18723.1(c).
If you assume or leave a position after a filing deadline, you
must complete a separate statement. For example, a city
council member who assumes a position with a county special
district after the April annual filing deadline must file a separate
assuming office statement. In subsequent years, the city
council member may expand their annual filing to include both
positions.
Example:
Brian Bourne is a city council member for the City of Lincoln
and a board member for the Camp Far West Irrigation District
– a multi-county agency that covers the Counties of Placer and
Yuba. The City is located within Placer County. Brian may
complete one expanded statement to disclose all reportable
interests for both offices and list both positions on the Cover
Page. Brian will file the expanded statement with each the City
and the District as directed by Regulation 18723.1(c).
Part 2. Jurisdiction of Office
•Check the box indicating the jurisdiction of your agency
and, if applicable, identify the jurisdiction. Judges, judicial
candidates, and court commissioners have statewide
jurisdiction. All other filers should review the Reference
Pamphlet, page 13, to determine their jurisdiction.
•If your agency is a multi-county office, list each county in
which your agency has jurisdiction.
•If your agency is not a state office, court, county office, city
office, or multi-county office (e.g., school districts, special
districts and JPAs), check the “other” box and enter the
county or city in which the agency has jurisdiction.
Example:
This filer is a member of a water district board with jurisdiction
in portions of Yuba and Sutter Counties.
Part 3. Type of Statement
Check at least one box. The period covered by a statement
is determined by the type of statement you are filing. If you
are completing a 2021 annual statement, do not change the
pre-printed dates to reflect 2022. Your annual statement is
used for reporting the previous year’s economic interests.
Economic interests for your annual filing covering January 1,
2022, through December 31, 2022, will be disclosed on your
statement filed in 2023. See Reference Pamphlet, page 4.
Combining Statements: Certain types of statements for the
same position may be combined. For example, if you leave
office after January 1, but before the deadline for filing your
annual statement, you may combine your annual and leaving
office statements. File by the earliest deadline. Consult your
filing officer or the FPPC.
Part 4. Schedule Summary
• Complete the Schedule Summary after you have reviewed
each schedule to determine if you have reportable
interests.
• Enter the total number of completed pages including the
cover page and either check the box for each schedule you
use to disclose interests; or if you have nothing to disclose
on any schedule, check the “No reportable interests” box.
Please do not attach any blank schedules.
Part 5. Verification
Complete the verification by signing the statement and
entering the date signed. Each statement must have an
original “wet” signature unless filed with a secure electronic
signature. (See page 3 above.) All statements must be signed
under penalty of perjury and be verified by the filer pursuant to
Government Code Section 81004. See Regulation 18723.1(c)
for filing instructions for copies of expanded statements.
When you sign your statement, you are stating, under
penalty of perjury, that it is true and correct. Only the filer
has authority to sign the statement. An unsigned statement
is not considered filed and you may be subject to late filing
penalties.

CALIFORNIA FORM
Instructions – Schedules A-1 and A-2
Investments
“Investment” means a financial interest in any business
entity (including a consulting business or other
independent contracting business) that is located in, doing
business in, planning to do business in, or that has done
business during the previous two years in your agency’s
jurisdiction in which you, your spouse or registered
domestic partner, or your dependent children had a direct,
indirect, or beneficial interest totaling $2,000 or more at
any time during the reporting period. (See Reference
Pamphlet, page 13.)
Reportable investments include:
• Stocks, bonds, warrants, and options, including those
held in margin or brokerage accounts and managed
investment funds (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)
• Sole proprietorships
• Your own business or your spouse’s or registered
domestic partner’s business (See Reference Pamphlet,
page 8, for the definition of “business entity.”)
• Your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s
investments even if they are legally separate property
• Partnerships (e.g., a law firm or family farm)
• Investments in reportable business entities held in a
retirement account (See Reference Pamphlet, page 15.)
• If you, your spouse or registered domestic partner,
and dependent children together had a 10% or
greater ownership interest in a business entity or trust
(including a living trust), you must disclose investments
held by the business entity or trust. (See Reference
Pamphlet, page 16, for more information on disclosing
trusts.)
• Business trusts
You are not required to disclose:
• Government bonds, diversified mutual funds, certain
funds similar to diversified mutual funds (such as
exchange traded funds) and investments held in certain
retirement accounts. (See Reference Pamphlet, page
13.) (Regulation 18237)
• Bank accounts, savings accounts, money market
accounts and certificates of deposits
• Insurance policies
• Annuities
• Commodities
• Shares in a credit union
• Government bonds (including municipal bonds)
• Retirement accounts invested in non-reportable interests
(e.g., insurance policies, mutual funds, or government
bonds) (See Reference Pamphlet, page 15.)
• Government defined-benefit pension plans (such as
CalPERS and CalSTRS plans)
• Certain interests held in a blind trust (See Reference
Pamphlet, page 16.)
Use Schedule A-1 to report ownership of less than 10%
(e.g., stock). Schedule C (Income) may also be required
if the investment is not a stock or corporate bond. (See
second example below.)
Use Schedule A-2 to report ownership of 10% or greater
(e.g., a sole proprietorship).
To Complete Schedule A-1:
Do not attach brokerage or financial statements.
• Disclose the name of the business entity.
• Provide a general description of the business activity
of the entity (e.g., pharmaceuticals, computers,
automobile manufacturing, or communications).
• Check the box indicating the highest fair market value
of your investment during the reporting period. If you
are filing a candidate or an assuming office statement,
indicate the fair market value on the filing date or the
date you took office, respectively. (See page 20 for
more information.)
• Identify the nature of your investment (e.g., stocks,
warrants, options, or bonds).
• An acquired or disposed of date is only required if you
initially acquired or entirely disposed of the investment
interest during the reporting period. The date of a stock
dividend reinvestment or partial disposal is not required.
Generally, these dates will not apply if you are filing a
candidate or an assuming office statement.
Examples:
Frank Byrd holds a state agency position. His conflict of
interest code requires full disclosure of investments. Frank
must disclose his stock holdings of $2,000 or more in any
company that is located in or does business in California,
as well as those stocks held by his spouse or registered
domestic partner and dependent children.
Alice Lance is a city council member. She has a 4%
interest, worth $5,000, in a limited partnership located in
the city. Alice must disclose the partnership on Schedule
A-1 and income of $500 or more received from the
partnership on Schedule C.
Reminders
• Do you know your agency’s jurisdiction?
• Did you hold investments at any time during the period
covered by this statement?
• Code filers – your disclosure categories may only
require disclosure of specific investments.

Instructions – Schedule A-2
Investments, Income, and Assets of Business Entities/Trusts
Use Schedule A-2 to report investments in a business
entity (including a consulting business or other
independent contracting business) or trust (including
a living trust) in which you, your spouse or registered
domestic partner, and your dependent children, together or
separately, had a 10% or greater interest, totaling $2,000
or more, during the reporting period and which is located
in, doing business in, planning to do business in, or which
has done business during the previous two years in your
agency’s jurisdiction. (See Reference Pamphlet, page
13.) A trust located outside your agency’s jurisdiction is
reportable if it holds assets that are located in or doing
business in the jurisdiction. Do not report a trust that
contains non-reportable interests. For example, a trust
containing only your personal residence not used in whole
or in part as a business, your savings account, and some
municipal bonds, is not reportable.
Also report on Schedule A-2 investments and real property
held by that entity or trust if your pro rata share of the
investment or real property interest was $2,000 or more
during the reporting period.
To Complete Schedule A-2:
Part 1. Disclose the name and address of the business
entity or trust. If you are reporting an interest in a business
entity, check “Business Entity” and complete the box as
follows:
• Provide a general description of the business activity of
the entity.
• Check the box indicating the highest fair market value of
your investment during the reporting period.
• If you initially acquired or entirely disposed of this
interest during the reporting period, enter the date
acquired or disposed.
• Identify the nature of your investment.
• Disclose the job title or business position you held with
the entity, if any (i.e., if you were a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee, or held any position of
management). A business position held by your spouse
is not reportable.
Part 2. Check the box indicating your pro rata share
of the gross income received by the business entity or
trust. This amount includes your pro rata share of the
gross income from the business entity or trust, as well
as your community property interest in your spouse’s or
registered domestic partner’s share. Gross income is the
total amount of income before deducting expenses, losses,
or taxes.
Part 3. Disclose the name of each source of income that
is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in,
or that has done business during the previous two years in
your agency’s jurisdiction, as follows:
• Disclose each source of income and outstanding loan
to the business entity or trust identified in Part 1 if
your pro rata share of the gross income (including
your community property interest in your spouse’s or
registered domestic partner’s share) to the business
entity or trust from that source was $10,000 or more
during the reporting period. (See Reference Pamphlet,
page 11, for examples.) Income from governmental
sources may be reportable if not considered salary.
See Regulation 18232. Loans from commercial lending
institutions made in the lender’s regular course of
business on terms available to members of the public
without regard to your official status are not reportable.
• Disclose each individual or entity that was a source
of commission income of $10,000 or more during the
reporting period through the business entity identified in
Part 1. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 8.)
You may be required to disclose sources of income located
outside your jurisdiction. For example, you may have
a client who resides outside your jurisdiction who does
business on a regular basis with you. Such a client, if a
reportable source of $10,000 or more, must be disclosed.
Mark “None” if you do not have any reportable $10,000
sources of income to disclose. Phrases such as
“various clients” or “not disclosing sources pursuant to
attorney-client privilege” are not adequate disclosure.
(See Reference Pamphlet, page 14, for information on
procedures to request an exemption from disclosing
privileged information.) Part 4. Report any investments or interests in real
property held or leased by the entity or trust identified in
Part 1 if your pro rata share of the interest held was $2,000
or more during the reporting period. Attach additional
schedules or use FPPC’s Form 700 Excel spreadsheet if
needed.
• Check the applicable box identifying the interest held as
real property or an investment.
• If investment, provide the name and description of the
business entity.
• If real property, report the precise location (e.g., an
assessor’s parcel number or address).
• Check the box indicating the highest fair market value
of your interest in the real property or investment during
the reporting period. (Report the fair market value of the
portion of your residence claimed as a tax deduction if
you are utilizing your residence for business purposes.)
• Identify the nature of your interest.
• Enter the date acquired or disposed only if you initially
acquired or entirely disposed of your interest in the
property or investment during the reporting period.

Name
Instructions – Schedule B
Interests in Real Property
Report interests in real property located in your agency’s
jurisdiction in which you, your spouse or registered domestic
partner, or your dependent children had a direct, indirect, or
beneficial interest totaling $2,000 or more any time during
the reporting period. Real property is also considered to be
“within the jurisdiction” of a local government agency if the
property or any part of it is located within two miles outside
the boundaries of the jurisdiction or within two miles of any
land owned or used by the local government agency. (See
Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)
Interests in real property include:
• An ownership interest (including a beneficial ownership
interest)
• A deed of trust, easement, or option to acquire property
• A leasehold interest (See Reference Pamphlet, page 14.)
• A mining lease
• An interest in real property held in a retirement account
(See Reference Pamphlet, page 15.)
• An interest in real property held by a business entity or
trust in which you, your spouse or registered domestic
partner, and your dependent children together had a 10%
or greater ownership interest (Report on Schedule A-2.)
• Your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s interests in
real property that are legally held separately by him or her
You are not required to report:
• A residence, such as a home or vacation cabin, used
exclusively as a personal residence (However, a residence
in which you rent out a room or for which you claim a
business deduction may be reportable. If reportable,
report the fair market value of the portion claimed as a tax
deduction.)
• Some interests in real property held through a blind trust
(See Reference Pamphlet, page 16.)
• Please note: A non-reportable property can still
be grounds for a conflict of interest and may be
disqualifying.
To Complete Schedule B:
• Report the precise location (e.g., an assessor’s parcel
number or address) of the real property.
• Check the box indicating the fair market value of your
interest in the property (regardless of what you owe on the
property).
• Enter the date acquired or disposed only if you initially
acquired or entirely disposed of your interest in the
property during the reporting period.
• Identify the nature of your interest. If it is a leasehold,
disclose the number of years remaining on the lease.
• If you received rental income, check the box indicating the
gross amount you received.
• If you had a 10% or greater interest in real property and
received rental income, list the name of the source(s) if
your pro rata share of the gross income from any single
tenant was $10,000 or more during the reporting period. If
you received a total of $10,000 or more from two or more
tenants acting in concert (in most cases, this will apply
to married couples), disclose the name of each tenant.
Otherwise, mark “None.”
• Loans from a private lender that total $500 or more and
are secured by real property may be reportable. Loans
from commercial lending institutions made in the
lender ’s regular course of business on terms available
to members of the public without regard to your official
status are not reportable.
When reporting a loan:
- Provide the name and address of the lender.
- Describe the lender’s business activity.
- Disclose the interest rate and term of the loan. For
variable interest rate loans, disclose the conditions
of the loan (e.g., Prime + 2) or the average interest
rate paid during the reporting period. The term of
a loan is the total number of months or years given
for repayment of the loan at the time the loan was
established.
- Check the box indicating the highest balance of the
loan during the reporting period.
- Identify a guarantor, if
applicable.
If you have more than one
reportable loan on a single
piece of real property, report
the additional loan(s) on
Schedule C.
Example:
Allison Gande is a city
planning commissioner.
During the reporting period,
she received rental income of
$12,000, from a single tenant
who rented property she
owned in the city’s jurisdiction
If Allison received $6,000
each from two tenants, the
tenants’ names would not be
required because no single
tenant paid her $10,000 or
more. A married couple is
considered a single tenant.

Instructions – Schedule C
Income, Loans, & Business Positions
(Income Other Than Gifts and Travel Payments)
Reporting Income:
Report the source and amount of gross income of $500
or more you received during the reporting period. Gross
income is the total amount of income before deducting
expenses, losses, or taxes and includes loans other
than loans from a commercial lending institution. (See
Reference Pamphlet, page 11.) You must also report the
source of income to your spouse or registered domestic
partner if your community property share was $500 or
more during the reporting period.
The source and income must be reported only if the source
is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in,
or has done business during the previous two years in your
agency’s jurisdiction. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)
Reportable sources of income may be further limited by
your disclosure category located in your agency’s conflict
of interest code.
Reporting Business Positions:
You must report your job title with each reportable
business entity even if you received no income during the
reporting period. Use the comments section to indicate
that no income was received.
Commonly reportable income and loans include:
• Salary/wages, per diem, and reimbursement for
expenses including travel payments provided by your
employer
• Community property interest (50%) in your spouse’s
or registered domestic partner’s income - report the
employer’s name and all other required information
• Income from investment interests, such as partnerships,
reported on Schedule A-1
• Commission income not required to be reported on
Schedule A-2 (See Reference Pamphlet, page 8.)
• Gross income from any sale, including the sale of a
house or car (Report your pro rata share of the total sale
price.)
• Rental income not required to be reported on Schedule B
• Prizes or awards not disclosed as gifts
• Payments received on loans you made to others
• An honorarium received prior to becoming a public official

Instructions – Schedule D
Income – Gifts
A gift is anything of value for which you have not provided
equal or greater consideration to the donor. A gift is
reportable if its fair market value is $50 or more. In addition,
multiple gifts totaling $50 or more received during the
reporting period from a single source must be reported.
It is the acceptance of a gift, not the ultimate use to which it is
put, that imposes your reporting obligation. Except as noted
below, you must report a gift even if you never used it or if you
gave it away to another person.
If the exact amount of a gift is unknown, you must make a
good faith estimate of the item’s fair market value. Listing
the value of a gift as “over $50” or “value unknown” is not
adequate disclosure. In addition, if you received a gift through
an intermediary, you must disclose the name, address, and
business activity of both the donor and the intermediary. You
may indicate an intermediary either in the “source” field
after the name or in the “comments” section at the bottom
of Schedule D.
Commonly reportable gifts include:
• Tickets/passes to sporting or entertainment events
• Tickets/passes to amusement parks
• Parking passes not used for official agency business
• Food, beverages, and accommodations, including those
provided in direct connection with your attendance at a
convention, conference, meeting, social event, meal, or like
gathering
• Rebates/discounts not made in the regular course of
business to members of the public without regard to official
status
• Wedding gifts (See Reference Pamphlet, page 16)
• An honorarium received prior to assuming office (You may
report an honorarium as income on Schedule C, rather
than as a gift on Schedule D, if you provided services of
equal or greater value than the payment received. See
Reference Pamphlet, page 10.)
• Transportation and lodging (See Schedule E.)
• Forgiveness of a loan received by you
Reminders
• Gifts from a single source are subject to a $520 limit in
20212021. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 10.)
• Code filers – you only need to report gifts from
reportable sources.
Gift Tracking Mobile Application
• FPPC has created a gift tracking app for mobile
devices that helps filers track gifts and provides a quick
and easy way to upload the information to the Form
700. Visit FPPC’s website to download the app.
You are not required to disclose:
• Gifts that were not used and that, within 30 days after
receipt, were returned to the donor or delivered to a
charitable organization or government agency without
being claimed by you as a charitable contribution for tax
purposes
• Gifts from your spouse or registered domestic partner,
child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, and
certain other family members (See Regulation 18942 for a
complete list.). The exception does not apply if the donor
was acting as an agent or intermediary for a reportable
source who was the true donor.
• Gifts of similar value exchanged between you and an
individual, other than a lobbyist registered to lobby your
state agency, on holidays, birthdays, or similar occasions
• Gifts of informational material provided to assist you in the
performance of your official duties (e.g., books, pamphlets,
reports, calendars, periodicals, or educational seminars)
• A monetary bequest or inheritance (However, inherited
investments or real property may be reportable on other
schedules.)
• Personalized plaques or trophies with an individual value of
less than $250
• Campaign contributions
• Up to two tickets, for your own use, to attend a fundraiser
for a campaign committee or candidate, or to a fundraiser
for an organization exempt from taxation under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The ticket must
be received from the organization or committee holding the
fundraiser.
• Gifts given to members of your immediate family if the
source has an established relationship with the family
member and there is no evidence to suggest the donor had
a purpose to influence you. (See Regulation 18943.)
• Free admission, food, and nominal items (such as a pen,
pencil, mouse pad, note pad or similar item) available to
all attendees, at the event at which the official makes a
speech (as defined in Regulation 18950(b)(2)), so long as
the admission is provided by the person who organizes the
event.
• Any other payment not identified above, that would
otherwise meet the definition of gift, where the payment is
made by an individual who is not a lobbyist registered to
lobby the official’s state agency, where it is clear that the
gift was made because of an existing personal or business
relationship unrelated to the official’s position and there
is no evidence whatsoever at the time the gift is made to
suggest the donor had a purpose to influence you.
To Complete Schedule D:
• Disclose the full name (not an acronym), address, and, if a
business entity, the business activity of the source.
• Provide the date (month, day, and year) of receipt, and
disclose the fair market value and description of the gift.

Travel payments reportable on Schedule E include advances
and reimbursements for travel and related expenses,
including lodging and meals.
Gifts of travel may be subject to the gift limit. In addition,
certain travel payments are reportable gifts, but are not
subject to the gift limit. To avoid possible misinterpretation or
the perception that you have received a gift in excess of the
gift limit, you may wish to provide a specific description of
the purpose of your travel. (See the FPPC fact sheet entitled
“Limitations and Restrictions on Gifts, Honoraria, Travel,
and Loans” to read about travel payments under section
89506(a).)
You are not required to disclose:
• Travel payments received from any state, local, or federal
government agency for which you provided services equal
or greater in value than the payments received, such as
reimbursement for travel on agency business from your
government agency employer.
• A payment for travel from another local, state, or federal
government agency and related per diem expenses when
the travel is for education, training or other inter-agency
programs or purposes.
• Travel payments received from your employer in the
normal course of your employment that are included in the
income reported on Schedule C.
• A travel payment that was received from a nonprofit
entity exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue
Code Section 501(c)(3) for which you provided equal or
greater consideration, such as reimbursement for travel on
business for a 501(c)(3) organization for which you are a
board member.
Note: Certain travel payments may not be reportable
if reported via email on Form 801 by your agency.
To Complete Schedule E:
• Disclose the full name (not an acronym) and address of the
source of the travel payment.
• Identify the business activity if the source is a business
entity.
• Check the box to identify the payment as a gift or income,
report the amount, and disclose the date(s).
• Travel payments are gifts if you did not provide
services that were equal to or greater in value than the
payments received. You must disclose gifts totaling $50
or more from a single source during the period covered
by the statement.
When reporting travel payments that are gifts, you must
provide a description of the gift, the date(s) received,
and the travel destination.
• Travel payments are income if you provided services
that were equal to or greater in value than the
payments received. You must disclose income totaling
$500 or more from a single source during the period
covered by the statement. You have the burden of
proving the payments are income rather than gifts.
When reporting travel payments as income, you must
describe the services you provided in exchange for the
payment. You are not required to disclose the date(s)
for travel payments that are income.
Example:
City council member MaryClaire Chandler is the chair of a
501(c)(6) trade association, and the association pays for her
travel to attend its meetings. Because MaryClaire is deemed
to be providing equal or
greater consideration for
the travel payment by
virtue of serving on the
board, this payment may
be reported as income.
Payments for MaryClaire
to attend other events for
which she is not providing
services are likely
considered gifts. Note that
the same payment from a
501(c)(3) would NOT be reportable.
Example:
Mayor Kim travels to China on a trip organized by China
Silicon Valley Business Development, a California nonprofit,
501(c)(6) organization. The Chengdu Municipal People’s
Government pays for Mayor Kim’s airfare and travel costs,
as well as his meals and
lodging during the trip.
The trip’s agenda shows
that the trip’s purpose is
to promote job creation
and economic activity
in China and in Silicon
Valley, so the trip is
reasonably related to a
governmental purpose.
Thus, Mayor Kim must
report the gift of travel,
but the gift is exempt from the gift limit. In this case, the travel
payments are not subject to the gift limit because the source
is a foreign government and because the travel is reasonably
related to a governmental purpose. (Section 89506(a)(2).)
Note that Mayor Kim could be disqualified from participating in
or making decisions about The Chengdu Municipal People’s
Government for 12 months. Also note that if China Silicon
Valley Business Development (a 501(c)(6) organization) paid
for the travel costs rather than the governmental organization,
the payments would be subject to the gift limits. (See the
FPPC fact sheet, Limitations and Restrictions on Gifts,
Honoraria, Travel and Loans, at www.fppc.ca.gov.)

Restrictions and Prohibitions
The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code Sections 81000-
91014) requires most state and local government officials
and employees to publicly disclose their economic
interests including personal assets and income. The
Act’s conflict of interest provisions also disqualify a public
official from taking part in a governmental decision if it
is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have
a material financial effect on these economic interests
as well as the official’s personal finances and those
of immediate family. (Gov. Code Sections 87100 and
87103.) The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)
is the state agency responsible for issuing the attached
Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700, and for
interpreting the Act’s provisions.
Gift Prohibition
Gifts received by most state and local officials, employees,
and candidates are subject to a limit. In 2021-2022, the
gift limit increased to $520 from a single source during a
calendar year. In 2019 and 2020, the gift limit was $500
from a single source during a calendar year.
Additionally, state officials, state candidates, and certain
state employees are subject to a $10 limit per calendar
month on gifts from lobbyists and lobbying firms registered
with the Secretary of State. See Reference Pamphlet,
page 10.
State and local officials and employees should check with
their agency to determine if other restrictions apply.
Disqualification
Public officials are, under certain circumstances, required
to disqualify themselves from making, participating in, or
attempting to influence governmental decisions that will
affect their economic interests. This may include interests
they are not required to disclose. For example, a personal
residence is often not reportable, but may be grounds for
disqualification. Specific disqualification requirements
apply to 87200 filers (e.g., city councilmembers, members
of boards of supervisors, planning commissioners, etc.).
These officials must publicly identify the economic interest
that creates a conflict of interest and leave the room before
a discussion or vote takes place at a public meeting. For
more information, consult Government Code Section
87105, Regulation 18707, and the Guide to Recognizing
Conflicts of Interest page at www.fppc.ca.gov.
Honorarium Ban
Most state and local officials, employees, and candidates
are prohibited from accepting an honorarium for any
speech given, article published, or attendance at a
conference, convention, meeting, or like gathering. (See
Reference Pamphlet, page 10.)
Loan Restrictions
Certain state and local officials are subject to restrictions
on loans. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 14.)
Post-Governmental Employment
There are restrictions on representing clients or employers
before former agencies. The provisions apply to elected
state officials, most state employees, local elected officials,
county chief administrative officers, city managers,
including the chief administrator of a city, and general
managers or chief administrators of local special districts
and JPAs. The FPPC website has fact sheets explaining
the provisions.
Late Filing
The filing officer who retains originally-signed or
electronically filed statements of economic interests may
impose on an individual a fine for any statement that is filed
late. The fine is $10 per day up to a maximum of $100.
Late filing penalties may be reduced or waived under certain
circumstances.
Persons who fail to timely file their Form 700 may be
referred to the FPPC’s Enforcement Division (and, in some
cases, to the Attorney General or district attorney) for
investigation and possible prosecution. In addition to the
late filing penalties, a fine of up to $5,000 per violation may
be imposed.
For assistance concerning reporting, prohibitions, and
restrictions under the Act:
• Email questions to advice@fppc.ca.gov.
• Call the FPPC toll-free at (866) 275-3772.
Form 700 is a Public Document
Public Access Must Be Provided
Statements of Economic Interests are public
documents. The filing officer must permit any
member of the public to inspect and receive a copy
of any statement.
• Statements must be available as soon as possible
during the agency's regular business hours, but
in any event not later than the second business
day after the statement is received. Access to the
Form 700 is not subject to the Public Records Act
procedures.
• No conditions may be placed on persons seeking
access to the forms.
• No information or identification may be required
from persons seeking access.
• Reproduction fees of no more than 10 cents per
page may be charged.

Questions and Answers
General
Q. What is the reporting period for disclosing interests
on an assuming office statement or a candidate
statement?
A. On an assuming office statement, disclose all
reportable investments, interests in real property, and
business positions held on the date you assumed
office. In addition, you must disclose income (including
loans, gifts and travel payments) received during the 12
months prior to the date you assumed office.
On a candidate statement, disclose all reportable
investments, interests in real property, and business
positions held on the date you file your declaration of
candidacy. You must also disclose income (including
loans, gifts and travel payments) received during the
12 months prior to the date you file your declaration of
candidacy.
Q. I hold two other board positions in addition to my
position with the county. Must I file three statements of
economic interests?
A. Yes, three are required. However, you may instead
complete an expanded statement listing the county and
the two boards on the Cover Page or an attachment as
the agencies for which you will be filing. Disclose all
reportable economic interests in all three jurisdictions
on the expanded statement. File the expanded
statement for your primary position providing an original
“wet” signature unless filed with a secure electronic
signature. (See page 3 above.) File copies of the
expanded statement with the other two agencies as
required by Regulation 18723.1(c). Remember to
complete separate statements for positions that you
leave or assume during the year.
Q. I am a department head who recently began acting as
city manager. Should I file as the city manager?
A. Yes. File an assuming office statement as city
manager. Persons serving as “acting,” “interim,” or
“alternate” must file as if they hold the position because
they are or may be performing the duties of the
position.
Q. My spouse and I are currently separated and in the
process of obtaining a divorce. Must I still report my
spouse’s income, investments, and interests in real
property?
A. Yes. A public official must continue to report a spouse’s
economic interests until such time as dissolution of
marriage proceedings is final. However, if a separate
property agreement has been reached prior to that
time, your estranged spouse’s income may not have to
be reported. Contact the FPPC for more information.
Q. As a designated employee, I left one state agency to
work for another state agency. Must I file a leaving
office statement?
A. Yes. You may also need to file an assuming office
statement for the new agency.
Investment Disclosure
Q. I have an investment interest in shares of stock in a
company that does not have an office in my jurisdiction.
Must I still disclose my investment interest in this
company?
A. Probably. The definition of “doing business in the
jurisdiction” is not limited to whether the business has
an office or physical location in your jurisdiction. (See
Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)
Q. My spouse and I have a living trust. The trust holds
rental property in my jurisdiction, our primary residence,
and investments in diversified mutual funds. I have full
disclosure. How is this trust disclosed?
A. Disclose the name of the trust, the rental property and
its income on Schedule A-2. Your primary residence
and investments in diversified mutual funds registered
with the SEC are not reportable.
Q. I am required to report all investments. I have an IRA
that contains stocks through an account managed by
a brokerage firm. Must I disclose these stocks even
though they are held in an IRA and I did not decide
which stocks to purchase?
A. Yes. Disclose on Schedule A-1 or A-2 any stock worth
$2,000 or more in a business entity located in or doing
business in your jurisdiction.

Questions and Answers
Continued
Q. The value of my stock changed during the reporting
period. How do I report the value of the stock?
A. You are required to report the highest value that the
stock reached during the reporting period. You may
use your monthly statements to determine the highest
value. You may also use the entity’s website to
determine the highest value. You are encouraged to
keep a record of where you found the reported value.
Note that for an assuming office statement, you must
report the value of the stock on the date you assumed
office.
Q. I am the sole owner of my business, an S-Corporation.
I believe that the nature of the business is such that it
cannot be said to have any “fair market value” because
it has no assets. I operate the corporation under
an agreement with a large insurance company. My
contract does not have resale value because of its
nature as a personal services contract. Must I report
the fair market value for my business on Schedule A-2
of the Form 700?
A. Yes. Even if there are no tangible assets, intangible
assets, such as relationships with companies and
clients are commonly sold to qualified professionals.
The “fair market value” is often quantified for other
purposes, such as marital dissolutions or estate
planning. In addition, the IRS presumes that “personal
services corporations” have a fair market value. A
professional “book of business” and the associated
goodwill that generates income are not without a
determinable value. The Form 700 does not require a
precise fair market value; it is only necessary to check
a box indicating the broad range within which the value
falls.
Q. I own stock in IBM and must report this investment
on Schedule A-1. I initially purchased this stock in
the early 1990s; however, I am constantly buying
and selling shares. Must I note these dates in the
“Acquired” and “Disposed” fields?
A. No. You must only report dates in the “Acquired” or
“Disposed” fields when, during the reporting period, you
initially purchase a reportable investment worth $2,000
or more or when you dispose of the entire investment.
You are not required to track the partial trading of an
investment.
Q. On last year’s filing I reported stock in Encoe valued at
$2,000 - $10,000. Late last year the value of this stock
fell below and remains at less than $2,000. How should
this be reported on this year’s statement?
A. You are not required to report an investment if the value
was less than $2,000 during the entire reporting period.
However, because a disposed date is not required for
stocks that fall below $2,000, you may want to report
the stock and note in the “comments” section that the
value fell below $2,000. This would be for informational
purposes only; it is not a requirement.
Q. We have a Section 529 account set up to save money
for our son’s college education. Is this reportable?
A. If the Section 529 account contains reportable interests
(e.g., common stock valued at $2,000 or more), those
interests are reportable (not the actual Section 529
account). If the account contains solely mutual funds,
then nothing is reported.
Income Disclosure
Q. I reported a business entity on Schedule A-2. Clients of
my business are located in several states. Must I report
all clients from whom my pro rata share of income is
$10,000 or more on Schedule A-2, Part 3?
A. No, only the clients located in or doing business on a
regular basis in your jurisdiction must be disclosed.
Q. I believe I am not required to disclose the names of
clients from whom my pro rata share of income is
$10,000 or more on Schedule A-2 because of their right
to privacy. Is there an exception for reporting clients’
names?
A. Regulation 18740 provides a procedure for requesting
an exemption to allow a client’s name not to be
disclosed if disclosure of the name would violate a
legally recognized privilege under California or Federal
law. This regulation may be obtained from our website
at www.fppc.ca.gov. (See Reference Pamphlet, page
14.)

Questions and Answers
Continued
Q. I am sole owner of a private law practice that is not
reportable based on my limited disclosure category.
However, some of the sources of income to my law
practice are from reportable sources. Do I have to
disclose this income?
A. Yes, even though the law practice is not reportable,
reportable sources of income to the law practice of
$10,000 or more must be disclosed. This information
would be disclosed on Schedule C with a note in the
“comments” section indicating that the business entity
is not a reportable investment. The note would be for
informational purposes only; it is not a requirement.
Q. I am the sole owner of my business. Where do I
disclose my income - on Schedule A-2 or Schedule C?
A. Sources of income to a business in which you have an
ownership interest of 10% or greater are disclosed on
Schedule A-2. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 8.)
Q. My husband is a partner in a four-person firm where
all of his business is based on his own billings and
collections from various clients. How do I report my
community property interest in this business and the
income generated in this manner?
A. If your husband’s investment in the firm is 10% or
greater, disclose 100% of his share of the business
on Schedule A-2, Part 1 and 50% of his income on
Schedule A-2, Parts 2 and 3. For example, a client of
your husband’s must be a source of at least $20,000
during the reporting period before the client’s name is
reported.
Q. How do I disclose my spouse’s or registered domestic
partner’s salary?
A. Report the name of the employer as a source of income
on Schedule C.
Q. I am a doctor. For purposes of reporting $10,000
sources of income on Schedule A-2, Part 3, are the
patients or their insurance carriers considered sources
of income?
A. If your patients exercise sufficient control by selecting
you instead of other doctors, then your patients, rather
than their insurance carriers, are sources of income to
you. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 14.)
Q. I received a loan from my grandfather to purchase my
home. Is this loan reportable?
A. No. Loans received from family members are not
reportable.
Q. Many years ago, I loaned my parents several thousand
dollars, which they paid back this year. Do I need to
report this loan repayment on my Form 700?
A. No. Payments received on a loan made to a family
member are not reportable.
Real Property Disclosure
Q. During this reporting period we switched our principal
place of residence into a rental. I have full disclosure
and the property is located in my agency’s jurisdiction,
so it is now reportable. Because I have not reported
this property before, do I need to show an “acquired”
date?
A. No, you are not required to show an “acquired” date
because you previously owned the property. However,
you may want to note in the “comments” section that
the property was not previously reported because it was
used exclusively as your residence. This would be for
informational purposes only; it is not a requirement.
Q. I am a city manager, and I own a rental property located
in an adjacent city, but one mile from the city limit. Do I
need to report this property interest?
A. Yes. You are required to report this property because
it is located within 2 miles of the boundaries of the city
you manage.
Q. Must I report a home that I own as a personal residence
for my daughter?
A. You are not required to disclose a home used as a
personal residence for a family member unless you
receive income from it, such as rental income.
Q. I am a co-signer on a loan for a rental property owned
by a friend. Since I am listed on the deed of trust, do I
need to report my friend’s property as an interest in real
property on my Form 700?
A. No. Simply being a co-signer on a loan for property
does not create a reportable interest in that real
property.

Gift Disclosure
Q. If I received a reportable gift of two tickets to a concert
valued at $100 each, but gave the tickets to a friend
because I could not attend the concert, do I have any
reporting obligations?
A. Yes. Since you accepted the gift and exercised
discretion and control of the use of the tickets, you must
disclose the gift on Schedule D.
Q. Julia and Jared Benson, a married couple, want to
give a piece of artwork to a county supervisor. Is each
spouse considered a separate source for purposes of
the gift limit and disclosure?
A. Yes, each spouse may make a gift valued at the gift
limit during a calendar year. For example, during 2021
the gift limit was $520, so the Bensons may have given
the supervisor artwork valued at no more than $1,040.
The supervisor must identify Jared and Julia Benson as
the sources of the gift.
Q. I am a Form 700 filer with full disclosure. Our agency
holds a holiday raffle to raise funds for a local charity.
I bought $10 worth of raffle tickets and won a gift
basket valued at $120. The gift basket was donated by
Doug Brewer, a citizen in our city. At the same event,
I bought raffle tickets for, and won a quilt valued at
$70. The quilt was donated by a coworker. Are these
reportable gifts?
A. Because the gift basket was donated by an outside
source (not an agency employee), you have received a
reportable gift valued at $110 (the value of the basket
less the consideration paid). The source of the gift
is Doug Brewer and the agency is disclosed as the
intermediary. Because the quilt was donated by an
employee of your agency, it is not a reportable gift.
Q. My agency is responsible for disbursing grants. An
applicant (501(c)(3) organization) met with agency
employees to present its application. At this meeting,
the applicant provided food and beverages. Would
the food and beverages be considered gifts to the
employees? These employees are designated in our
agency’s conflict of interest code and the applicant is a
reportable source of income under the code.
A. Yes. If the value of the food and beverages consumed
by any one filer, plus any other gifts received from the
same source during the reporting period total $50 or
more, the food and beverages would be reported using
the fair market value and would be subject to the gift
limit.
Q. I received free admission to an educational conference
related to my official duties. Part of the conference
fees included a round of golf. Is the value of the golf
considered informational material?
A. No. The value of personal benefits, such as golf,
attendance at a concert, or sporting event, are gifts
subject to reporting and limits.
