This webinar will cover two basic aspects of California public integrity laws that most often impact businesses that deal with government entities: Government Code §1090 and California’s Political Reform Act.
Government Code §1090 is California’s powerful and far reaching anti-conflict of interest statute which voids and makes criminal creating a contract in which a government officer or employee has a financial interest.
Meals, entertainment and other gifts often promote good will and networking opportunities in the private sector, but can be a violation of California’s Political Reform Act in the public sector. While lawful under many circumstances, there are gift limits, gift reporting requirements and conditions under which receiving a gift will give rise to a conflict of interest for a government official. Businesses need to know and be sensitive to these requirements and limitations.
