The Fair Political Practices Commission – The Political Reform Act requires CSU, as an agency, to adopt and communicate Conflict of Interest (COI) codes. The Act contains a general prohibition against conflicts of interest. The Conflict of Interest law seeks to minimize the extent to which public employees pursue their own financial interest at the expense of the public interest.

You may be required to complete the Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700 and/or a Form 700-U) and on-line ethics training depending on your employment status and responsibilities. In addition, Auxiliary Board members are required to file a Conflict of Interest-Related Parties Questionnaire.
