California Coastal Commission: ex parte communications: disclosure forms.
Summary
Existing law, the California Coastal Act of 1976, establishes the California Coastal Commission and prohibits a member of the commission from conducting an ex parte communication unless the commission member fully discloses and makes public that communication, as specified. The act further requires the commission to adopt standard disclosure forms for reporting ex parte communications that include specified information relating to the date, time, and location of the communication, the identity of the person or persons initiating and the person receiving the communication, and a complete description of the content of the communication. This bill would revise the information to be included in those standard disclosure forms to also include the identity of the person on whose behalf the communication was made, the identity of all persons present during the communication, and a complete, comprehensive description of the content of the ex parte communication, including a complete set of all text and graphic material that was part of the communication.
