Bill Author(s): B. Allen
Legislative Session / Year: 2017
State: California
AVFCA Position: Support
Bill Synopsis: This bill would have advanced the need for greater transparency in the initiative, referendum, and recall petition process. It will not impede the petitioning process nor impact the process fiscally. It solely calls for the disclosure of persons and/or entities funding the circulation of petitions in an effort to encourage transparency and choice for registered voters. Full disclosure of the financial contributors to any legislation needs to be present at every stage of the legislative process.
