Hosted by the California Special Districts Association

Presenter: Kenneth White, Brown White Law

Government Code Section 1090, California’s sweeping conflict of interest law, prohibits government officials and employees from making a contract in which they have a financial interest.  But which officials are covered, and what does “making a contract mean?”  California courts have interpreted those terms broadly, resulting in often unexpected risk to officials.  The California Supreme Court recently extended the law to independent contractors working for government.  What’s the current scope of the law, and how can you keep you and your district safe?  Ken White, an attorney at Brown White & Osborn LLP in Los Angeles, has extensive experience litigating Section 1090 cases and will explain what the statute covers, what the risks are, and how to stay safe.
