SCHEDULE C. Interests in Non-Corporate Business Entities

Report all interests in any non-corporate business entities not disclosed on Schedule B that do

business with the State. A sole proprietorship is the type of entity that is included on this Schedule.

Please answer the Questions 1 through 6 as appropriate. The Ethics Law requires for each interest in

any non-corporate business entity doing business with the State that you give the name and address of the

entity, the nature and extent of your interest, the amount of the interest, other interests held in the entity, and

any encumbrances or conditions. Additionally, if the interest was acquired during the calendar year, the date

and manner of acquisition, the identity of the person from whom you acquired the interest, and the nature and

amount of consideration will need to be disclosed.

Finally, if you transferred the interest during the calendar year, the name of the person to whom you

transferred the interest (if known), the portion of interest transferred and the amount of consideration received.

SCHEDULE D. Gifts

You must report each gift in excess of $20 in value, or a series of gifts from any one person

totaling $100 or more, received by you at any time during this reporting period or by any other person at your

direction, from or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person who does business with the State or is

regulated by the State, or is registered or required to register under the lobbying title of the Public Ethics Law.

For each gift, answer Questions 1 through 4. Generally, gifts received by members of your immediate family

will be considered as gifts received by you for reporting purposes. You should note if the gift was received by

a spouse or dependent child.

Gifts received from your spouse, children and parents need not be reported.

Political campaign contributions regulated in accordance with the provisions of the Election Law Article

or any other provision of State law regulating the conduct of elections or the receipt of political campaign

contributions are by definition not gifts. Contributions to legal defense funds are generally considered to be gifts

under the Ethics Law.

If, as a staff member of the General Assembly, you attended a meals and beverages special event to

which a qualifying legislative unit (all members, either house, a standing committee or a county or regional

delegation officially designated for disclosure purposes by the presiding officers) was invited, you need not

include it in this financial disclosure form.

SCHEDULE E. Offices, Directorships, Salaried Employment, and Similar Interests

List on this schedule the name and address of the principal office of each business entity doing business

with the State in which, at any time during the reporting period, you or a member of your immediate family

(spouse and dependent children) held an office, directorship, salaried employment, or similar interest. Also list

any other similar interests (such as being a partner) held by you or a member of your immediate family during the

reporting period, and not otherwise disclosed on this Schedule, in any business entity doing business with the

State. For example, the presidency of a corporation or a partnership in a law firm should be reported, as should

employment as an engineer in a consulting firm that is a partnership. For each office, directorship, and

employment to be disclosed, answer Questions 1 through 6.

SCHEDULE F. Debts

Report all debts you owed during the reporting period to any entity doing business with or regulated

by your agency. The Ethics Law requires agencies to provide to their financial disclosure filers on or before

January 15 of each year a list of entities that did business with the agency during the preceding calendar year.

Exclude retail credit accounts (which include store and bank charge accounts). You must, however, include

installment loans, mortgages, car loans, or other time-fixed liabilities owed to an entity doing business with or

regulated by your agency.
