Full summary

The City Ethics Commission submitted proposed amendments to the LAPD's Conflict of Interests Code on June 30, 2026. Conflict of Interests Codes are local ethics rules that govern what financial interests and outside activities city employees must disclose or recuse themselves from. The Commission's proposed amendments are detailed in Attachments A, B, and C to its June 30 report, which form the operative substance of what the Council is being asked to approve, though the specific changes to disclosure categories or affected job classifications are not summarized in the committee report itself. The Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee took up the matter on September 15, 2026, allowed opportunity for public comment, and voted unanimously 3-0 to approve the City Ethics Commission's recommendation. Councilmembers Harris-Dawson, Soto-Martinez, and Lee all voted yes. The committee is now forwarding the item to the full Council for a final vote. The deadline for Council action is September 22, 2026, with the file's overall time limit set at September 28, 2026. No fiscal impact statement was submitted by the City Ethics Commission, and neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis.
