SEC. 3.1-205. DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

§ 3.1-205

ComplexCould be simpler
In plain language

District Attorney office positions are assigned financial disclosure requirements under two categories. Most attorneys and investigators must disclose income and investments from all businesses (Category 1); Chief and Assistant Chief Victim Witness positions must additionally disclose income and investments specifically related to services or supplies used by the office (Category 2).

Different jobs in the District Attorney's office have to report their finances in different ways. Most attorneys, investigators, and leadership staff have to report all their income and investments. But the Chief Victim Witness and Assistant Chief Victim Witness positions have stricter rules—they have to report not just everything, but specifically any money or investments they have in companies that sell stuff or provide services that the District Attorney's office actually uses.

  • Complex:The section references another section (Sec. 3.1-500) for the District Attorney position itself and requires readers to understand the relationship between different disclosure categories defined elsewhere in the code.
  • Could be simpler:The layout repeats the column headers twice, making the table confusing; a cleaner format would improve clarity without changing substance.
