Bill > SB401

This bill, an amendment to the Political Reform Act of 1974, allows the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), the state agency that oversees political finance and ethics, to extend filing deadlines for individuals affected by an emergency situation, which is defined as an emergency proclaimed by the Governor or a local governing body. Additionally, it prohibits state agency employees from owning or controlling financial interests in businesses regulated by or doing business with their agency, though agency heads can grant waivers if the interest is otherwise consistent with the law and the employee won't be involved in decisions related to it. The bill also clarifies that no reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts for any costs incurred due to these changes, as they are related to the definition or penalties of crimes.
