- 8. DisclosureDocs ™ Development History In partnership with the county of Ventura, SouthTech Systems developed the first generation of DisclosureDocs™ in 2000, the company’s flagship product for managing the business process of the FPPC-mandated Conflict of Interest Code / Form 700. Since 2000, multiple California counties have acquired DisclosureDocs™. SouthTech Systems has since become an expert in the field of developing software solutions that facilitate the submission of Conflict of Interest filings.
- 9. eDisclosure ™ Development History In 2006, the County of Orange had a vision that all county Conflict of Interest filers would have the ability to electronically submit Conflict of Interest Form 700. SouthTech Systems, in turn, redeveloped DisclosureDocs™ as well as created eDisclosure™ to support the electronic submission process. The County of Orange subsequently applied for legislation change that would allow filers to electronically file Form 700. In 2008, the legislation change was successfully passed in the form of a three-year pilot program for four California counties, County of Orange, Los Angeles, Merced and Stanislaus. Individuals in these counties who are designated filers by their authority’s Conflict of Interest Code may file assuming, annual and leaving statements by completing the FPPC-mandated Form 700 online and submitting it to their Filing Officer electronically. In 2010, the counties of Santa Clara, Ventura and the City of Long Beach joined the pilot group to be approved in 2011. After three years, the pilot counties will report on the results of the program, which—if successful—will allow the legislation to be opened up to all organizations that file Form 700.
