SEC. 3.1-230. ETHICS COMMISSION.
§ 3.1-230
The San Francisco Ethics Commission establishes disclosure requirements for its employees and commissioners, with different positions assigned to one of two disclosure categories. Category 2 positions must disclose investments, business roles, and income from information technology service providers, including those that have provided or sought to provide services to the Commission.
The Ethics Commission has a list of jobs that require different levels of financial disclosure. Some positions, mostly in technology and data roles, are in Category 2, which means those employees must report any money they make from or investments they have in companies that sell computer hardware, software, consulting services, or similar tech products—especially if those companies have done business with or tried to do business with the Ethics Commission.
- Complex:The section mixes a general disclosure rule (Category 2 definition) with a lengthy position-by-position table without clear organization, making it hard to scan and understand which jobs fall under which category.
- Could be simpler:The Category 2 definition uses nested parentheses and multiple conjunctions ('or provides... or provided or sought') that could be restructured for clarity.
