The County of Orange Ethics (AB1234) Training policy requires all County Elected Officials and members of certain Boards, Commissions and Committees (BCCs) to take ethics training within one (1) year an individual is appointed and every two (2) years thereafter.
To satisfy this training requirement you must take a two (2) hour local official AB 1234 ethics course.

The completion of one of these 2-hour training sessions will satisfy the AB1234 Ethics Training requirement.
