BILL NUMBER: AB 2135INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member De La Torre FEBRUARY 18, 2010 An act to amend Section 1090 of the Government Code, relating to public officers and employees. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2135, as introduced, De La Torre. Public officers or employees: conflicts of interest. Existing law prohibits Members of the Legislature and state, county, district, judicial district, and city 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. That law also prohibits state, county, district, judicial district, and city officers and employees from being purchasers at any sale, or vendors at any purchase, made by them in their official capacity. A violation of either of these prohibitions is a crime. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that law. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 1090 of the Government Code is amended to read: 1090.
