LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3130, Quirk-Silva.
County board of supervisors: disclosure.
Existing law prohibits certain public officials, including, but not limited to, state, county, or district officers or employees, from being financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity, or by any body or board of which they are members, except as provided. A willful violation of these provisions is a crime.
Existing law excepts from the above conflict-of-interest provisions certain remote interests, as described, including those of officers or employees of a nonprofit entity exempt from taxation or a nonprofit corporation, except as prescribed. Existing law excepts the remote interest if it is disclosed to the body or board of which the officer is a member and noted in its official records, and thereafter the body or board authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract in good faith by a vote of its membership
sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote or votes of the officer or member with the remote interest.
This bill would require a member of the board of supervisors to disclose a known family relationship with an officer or employee of a nonprofit entity before the board of supervisors appropriates money to that nonprofit entity.
