SEC. 3.1-108. CONSULTANTS.
§ 3.1-108
Consultants working for covered departments and agencies must disclose economic interests in Disclosure Category 1 unless their department director determines in writing that the consultant's limited-scope duties warrant a different disclosure category or no disclosure at all. Such written determinations are public records open to inspection.
Consultants who work for city departments covered by this rule have to report their financial interests (called Disclosure Category 1). However, a department's director can write a memo saying a particular consultant doesn't have to report, or can report in a different way, if that consultant's job is narrow and doesn't cover much ground. That memo has to explain what the consultant actually does and what they have to report. The memo becomes a public record that anyone can look at.
- Complex:The section contains nested conditionals (unless/provided, however) and cross-references to undefined terms ('Disclosure Category 1' and scope determinations) that require reading other parts of the Chapter to fully understand.

Official text
Unless otherwise stated in this Chapter, consultants for departments and agencies covered by this Chapter shall be deemed designated employees for the purposes of this Chapter and shall disclose economic interests in Disclosure Category 1; provided, however, that the director of the department or agency for which a consultant works may determine in writing that the consultant is not required to comply with the disclosure requirements described in this section or is required to disclose economic interests in a disclosure category other than Disclosure Category 1 because the consultant performs a range of duties that are limited in scope. Such a determination shall include a description of the consultant's duties and, based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The determination shall be a public record and shall be retained for public inspection in the same manner and location as statements filed under this Chapter.
