file semi-annual campaign statements regardless of the
amount of payments received or expenditures made to produce
slate mailers.
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.
FISCAL EFFECT : Appropriation: No Fiscal Com.: Yes
Local: Yes
