50-51 General Items
50. Amend Regulation 18422: Multipurpose Organization Political Activity Transparency; Repeal Regulation 18413 Reporting Independent Expenditures by Eligible 501(c)(3)/501(c)(4) Organizations. Staff: General Counsel Hyla Wagner and Senior Commission Counsel Heather M. Rowan. Staff proposes that the Commission amend Regulation 18422 to clarify that the major donor notices and multi-layer reporting apply equally to federal PACs and out of state committees. Regulation 18413 is superseded and staff proposes its repeal.
51. Amend Regulation 18422.5 - Top Contributor Disclosure. Staff: General Counsel Hyla P. Wagner and Senior Commission Counsel Brian G. Lau. In 2014, the FPPC began posting lists of the top 10 contributors to committees primarily formed to support or oppose a state ballot measure or to make independent expenditures on a state candidate that raises $1,000,000 or more for an election. Additionally, the Commission has the express authority under Government Code section 84223 to require these committees to also report the top contributors to any contributing recipient committee identified in their top 10 reports. This proposal implements this "expanded disclosure" requirement and will provide more accessible, easy-to-view, disclosure for the public. For example, under the proposal, if a state general purpose committee with an uninformative and generic name, such as "Good Government California," is listed as a top contributor to a ballot measure or independent expenditure committee, the two top donors to Good Government California will also be listed informing the public about the committee.
