On Dec. 12, 2008, at 12 p.m., the University of California will hold a public hearing on the adoption of amendments to its Conflict of Interest Code. The hearing will be held in Conference Room #8332 at 1111 Franklin St., 8th Floor, Oakland, Calif.

The UC Regents have heretofore adopted and promulgated a Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the requirements of sections 81000, et seq., of the Government Code of the state of California, and implemented by the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 9 of the California Code of Regulations (§§ 18700-18753). The code designates categories of university officials who are required to file financial disclosure statements. These proposed changes are generally non-substantive in nature and involve changes in the list of designated employees and their disclosure categories in Appendix A of the code because of changes in job titles and responsibilities.

Interested parties may view the proposed amendments to the code (www.ucop.edu/ogc/coi/econinterest.html) or may make arrangements to inspect them by calling Ross Smith at (510) 987-9999. Comments on the proposed amendments may be submitted in writing to the Conflict of Interest Code Coordinator of the University of California at 1111 Franklin St., 8th floor, Oakland, CA 94607-5200.

Oral comments and statements at the hearing will be limited to 10 minutes each.
