Senate Floor Amendments of 8/26/09 addressed a "chaptering-out" problem with AB 1181 (Huber). ANALYSIS : Existing law requires a slate mailer organization to file semiannual campaign statements for each period in which it has received payments totaling $500 or more from any person for the support of or opposition to candidates or ballot measures in a slate mailer, or in which it has expended $500 or more to produce one or more slate mailers. This bill calls for increased financial disclosure by requiring all recipient political committees and slate mailers to report significant financial contributions consistent with the existing requirements for state candidates and state ballot measure committees.
