which can be incorporated by reference in an agency's code. After public notice and hearing,
the standard code may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to
amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of
Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political
Practices Commission are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference. This regulation and
