Are your economic interests directly or indirectly involved in the
governmental decision?

An economic interest which is directly involved in —and therefore directly affected by — a governmental decision creates a bigger risk of a conflict of interest than does an economic interest which is only indirectly involved in the decision.

As a result, the FPPC’s conflict-

of-interest regulations distinguish between economic
interests that are directly involved and interests
that are indirectly involved.
Once you have identified your economic interests,
you must next decide if they are directly involved in the
governmental decision about which you are concerned.
The FPPC has established specific rules for determining
whether each kind of economic interest is directly or
indirectly involved in a governmental decision.

So what does it all mean? This could be a topic of some lively discussion?
