California Regulations § 60848 Phase II Supplemental Application Review

⤴ Up to Article 1: Application Process

Regulation Text

(a) During Phase II, each member of the panel shall review the application materials submitted regarding each applicant remaining in the applicant pool, for the purpose of determining which applicants shall be removed from the pool to leave no more than 120 of the most qualified applicants who will be invited to participate in Phase III of the application process.
(b) The maximum of 120 most qualified applicants who will be invited to participate in Phase III of the application process shall consist of the following three subpools:
(1) 40 applicants who are registered with the largest political party in California.
(2) 40 applicants who are registered with the second largest political party in California.
(3) 40 applicants who are not registered with either of the two largest political parties in California.
(c) At the panel's request, the State Auditor may assign staff to assist the members of the panel with their review of the application materials. This assistance may include, but need not be limited to, preparing summaries of applicants' qualifications and making recommendations to the panel members regarding the relative qualifications of the applicants.
(d) The panel shall remove from the applicant pool any applicant who the panel determines has a conflict of interest or does not meet the requirements of subdivision (c)(3) of section 2 of Article XXI of the California Constitution.
(e) In reducing the applicant pool to not more than 120 of the most qualified applicants, the panel shall evaluate the applicants based on their relevant analytical skills, ability to be impartial, and appreciation for California's diverse demographics and geography.
(f) As the application process is designed to produce a commission that is reasonably representative of the State's diversity, as specified in subdivision (c)(1) of section 2 of Article XXI of the California Constitution, the panel shall also consider whether the composition of the pool of applicants to participate in Phase III of the application process is reflective of the State's diversity. The panel shall not use formulas or specific ratios in identifying which applicants will participate in Phase III of the application process.
(g) During the panel's review of the application materials and reduction of the applicant pool, the panel shall identify those applicants it considers likely to be among the 120 of the most qualified applicants, and direct those applicants to submit a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) within a period of 30 days, so that the panel may consider the applicants' statements prior to identifying the pool of 120 most qualified applicants.
(h) The State Auditor's Office shall post on its website a list of the applicants remaining in the applicant pool who will therefore be invited to participate in Phase III of the application process. The State Auditor's Office shall also notify the applicants removed from the applicant pool that they have been removed from the pool.
