DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INTERESTS

Overview

RULE:

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed amendments is to make revisions to financial disclosure forms that are adopted by reference in the various rules of Chapter 34-8, Florida Administrative Code. The filing year on all of the forms will be changed to 2011, and filing instructions are being revised for greater clarity. Additionally, where there were statutory changes to those who are required to file, those changes are reflected in the forms. Also, Rule 34-8.007, F.A.C., is being amended to address the situation where a filer elects to file their Federal income tax return with their CE Form 6. Even if they were not required to submit W-2’s and other attachments to the I.R.S. if they filed electronically, they are still required to provide those documents with their CE Form 6.

SUMMARY:

CE Form 6 (Full and Public Disclosure of Financial Interests), CE Form 6F (Final Full and Public Disclosure of Financial Interests), CE Form 6X (Amendment to Full and Public Disclosure of Financial Interests), CE Form 1 (Statement of Financial Interests), CE Form 1F (Final Statement of Financial Interests), and CE Form 1X (Amendment to Form 1 Statement of Financial Interests), are affected by this rulemaking.
