                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016






          Bill

          for local office at the same level as the limit on contributions  
          from individuals to candidates for Senate and Assembly ($4,200),

          Commission (FPPC) indicates that it would incur first-year costs  
          of $1.1 million, and ongoing costs of $1 million to implement  
          the provisions of the bill (General Fund). Counties would incur
