Title

Candidates for municipal offices; exempt from certain FCPA reporting if contributions and expenditures remain below threshold level

Description

Under existing law, a candidate for elected public office, within five days of becoming a candidate, must file a statement with the Secretary of State indicating the names of individuals serving as the principal campaign committee for the candidate.

Also under existing law, a candidate must file periodic campaign finance reports with the Secretary of State during an election cycle, even if the candidate does not receive contributions or make expenditures.

This bill would exempt a candidate running for a municipal office from filing a statement designating his or her principal campaign committee and filing campaign finance reports unless and until the candidate receives contributions or makes expenditures greater than $1,000 in the aggregate.
