General Assembly Bill Would Adjust Campaign Finance Reporting in California

California Assembly ChamberUnder Assembly Bill 447, all committees making expenditures or receiving contributions of more than $500 would be required to file quarterly statements.

Late contribution reports would still be required within 24 hours of making a contribution near an election.
