          ASSEMBLY FLOOR :  77-0, 5/21/09 - See last page for vote


           SUBJECT  :    Political Reform Act of 1974:  reporting

           SOURCE  :     Secretary of State


           DIGEST  :    This bill requires slate mailer organizations to  
          file semi-annual campaign statements regardless of the  
          amount of payments received or expenditures made to produce  
          slate mailers. 

           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.

          consistent with the existing requirements for state  
          candidates and state ballot measure committees.
