	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 567, as introduced, Dutton. The Outdoor Advertising Act.
   Existing law authorizes the State Auditor to conduct financial and
performance audits as directed by statute.
   This bill would require the Bureau of State Audits to conduct a
financial and performance audit of the administration of the Outdoor
Advertising Act every 3 years, and to report its findings to the
Legislature by December 31 of the year in which the audit is
performed.
   Existing law requires every agency to adopt and promulgate a
Conflict of Interest Code that contains a specific enumeration of the
positions within the agency, except as specified, which involve the
making or participation in the making of decisions which may
foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest and for
each such enumerated position, the specific types of investments,
business positions, interests in real property, and sources of income
which are reportable. Existing law also requires the Conflict of
Interest Code to require each designated employee, except as
specified, to file statements at times and under circumstances
described in this section, disclosing reportable investments,
business positions, interests in real property and income.
   This bill would provide that for the purposes of those provisions,
any employee who is involved in the implementation of the Outdoor
Advertising Act would be considered a designated employee and would
be required to annually file a statement of economic interests
disclosing reportable investments, business positions, interests in
real property and income.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
