the Government Code, relating to the Political Reform Act of 1974.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 10, as amended, Gatto. Political Reform Act of 1974:
behested payments and economic interest disclosures.
(1) The Political Reform Act of 1974 requires elected officers,
candidates, and committees to file semiannual campaign statements
that include, among other things, the total amount of contributions
received during the period covered by the campaign statement and the
total cumulative amount of contributions received. The act provides
that contributions include a payment made at the behest of a
candidate unless full and adequate consideration is received from the
candidate or it is clear from the surrounding circumstances that the
payment was made for purposes unrelated to his or her candidacy for
elective office. The act provides that a payment made principally for
legislative, governmental, or charitable purposes is presumed to be
made for purposes unrelated to a candidate's candidacy for elective
office and is neither a gift nor a contribution. The act requires a
payment of this type made at the behest of a candidate who is an
elected officer to be reported within 30 days following the date on
which the payment or payments equal or exceed $5,000 in the aggregate
from the same source in the same calendar year in which the payments
are made.
This bill would also require a Member of the Legislature or a
person elected to a statewide elective office, for one year after he
or she leaves elective office, to report within 30 days following the
date on which a behested payment or payments are made for
legislative, governmental, or charitable purposes that equal or
exceed $5,000 in the aggregate from the same source in the same
calendar year in which the payments are made. The bill would only
require a Member of the Legislature or a person elected to a
statewide elective office to report the behested payment or payments,
as described above, if the behested payment or payments would
financially benefit the former officerholder or his or her immediate
family, the former officeholder's employer or the employer of a
member of his or her immediate family, or an entity with whom the
former officeholder or a member of his or her immediate family is
negotiating employment.
(2)
(1) The Political Reform Act of 1974 prohibits a public
official at any level of state or local government from making,
participating in making, or in any way attempting to use his or her
official position to influence a governmental decision in which the
public official knows or has reason to know that he or she has a
financial interest. A public official has a financial interest in a
governmental decision if it is reasonably foreseeable that the
decision will have a material financial effect, distinguishable from
its effect on the public generally, on a business entity in which the
public official has a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000 or
more, real property in which the public official has a direct or
indirect interest worth $2,000 or more, and sources of income
aggregating $500 or more in value within 12 months before the time
when the decision is made.
The Political Reform Act of 1974 requires persons holding
specified public offices to file disclosures of investments, real
property interests, and income within specified periods of assuming
or leaving office, and annually while holding the office. The act
requires the disclosures to include a statement indicating, within a
specified value range, the fair market value of investments or
interests in real property and the aggregate value of income received
from a source.
This bill would increase the thresholds at which a public official
has a disqualifying financial interest in sources of income from
$500 to $1,000, in investments in business entities from $2,000 to
$5,000, and in interests in real property from $2,000 to $10,000.
This bill would make conforming adjustments to the thresholds at
which income, investments, and interests in real property must be
disclosed on a public official's statement of economic interests. The
bill would also revise the dollar amounts associated with the value
ranges for reporting the value of economic interests.
This bill would require certain public officials to disclose
information on the official's statement of economic interests
relating to governmental decisions for which the public official had
a disqualifying financial interest, as specified.
Existing law makes a knowing or willful violation of the act a
misdemeanor and subjects offenders to criminal penalties.
By creating additional crimes, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
(2) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section
87207 of the Government Code, proposed by SB 21, that would become
operative only if SB 21 and this bill are both chaptered and become
effective on or before January 1, 2016, and this bill is chaptered
last.
(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
(4) The Political Reform Act of 1974, an initiative measure,
provides that the Legislature may amend the act to further the act's
purposes upon a 2/3 vote of each house and compliance with specified
procedural requirements.
This bill would declare that it furthers the purposes of the act.
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
