Summary


First, Rule 34-8.005 is being amended to include a new subsection, which will indicate CE Form 6 filers, who are attorneys, will not have to disclose a legal client as a primary or secondary source of income if it will violate the law or rules governing attorneys. The subsection will indicate that filers can instead write "Legal Client" in the disclosure fields without providing further information. Second, language allowing CE Form 6 filers to refrain from disclosing identifying information about legal clients in the income portion of the form, and prompting them to write "Legal Clients" in the disclosure fields instead, will be added to the instructions for the CE Form 6, CE Form 6F, and CE Form 6X, which are incorporated by reference in the following enumerated rules (Rules 34-8.001, 34-8.002, 34-8.008, and 34-8.009). Third, any reference to elected local officers of independent special districts, and any person appointed to fill a vacancy on an elected special district board, in the training certification portion of the instructions for the CE Form 6, CE Form 6X, CE Form 1, and CE Form 1X, will be removed. These instructions are incorporated by reference in the following enumerated rules (Rules 34-8.001, 34-8.002, 34-8.009, 34-8.202, and 34-8.209).
