BILL NUMBER: AB 2523INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Mullin FEBRUARY 19, 2016 An act relating to local campaign contributions. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2523, as introduced, Mullin. Campaign contributions: local elections. The Political Reform Act of 1974 imposes limitations on contributions to candidates for elective state office, statewide elective office, and office of the Governor, as specified. The act specifies that nothing in it prevents the Legislature or any other state or local agency from imposing additional requirements on a person if the requirements do not prevent the person from complying with the act, and that nothing in it nullifies contribution limitations or prohibitions by any local jurisdiction that apply to elections for local elective office, as specified. The act requires a local government agency that has enacted, enacts, amends, or repeals an ordinance or other provision of law affecting campaign contributions to file a copy of the action with the Fair Political Practices Commission. Existing law authorizes a county, city, or district to limit campaign contributions in local elections. This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would impose limitations on campaign contribution for local elections. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. It is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would impose limitations on campaign contributions for local elections.
