LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 780, as introduced, Harper.
Political Reform Act of 1974: controlled committees.
The Political Reform Act of 1974 defines various terms for purposes of the reporting and disclosure requirements of the act. The act defines a controlled committee as a committee that is controlled directly or indirectly by a candidate or state measure proponent or that acts jointly with a candidate, controlled committee, or state measure proponent in connection with the making of expenditures. The act provides that a candidate or state measure proponent controls a committee if he or she, or his or her agent, or any other committee he or she controls has a significant influence on the actions or decisions of the committee.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
