INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Ammiano

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2013

   An act to amend Section 84200 of the Government Code, relating to
the Political Reform Act of 1974.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 510, as introduced, Ammiano. Political Reform Act of 1974.
   The Political Reform Act of 1974 provides for the comprehensive
regulation of campaign financing, conflicts of interests of public
officials, and the lobbying industry, and further establishes the
Fair Political Practices Commission to administer and enforce the
provisions of the act. The act requires elected officers, candidates,
and certain committees to file semiannual statements, except as
specified.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
