Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit a person from running for public office if the required financial disclosure statement reveals delinquent unpaid taxes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require that a candidate for public office must disclose on their financial disclosure statement whether they are delinquent in paying any city, county, state, or federal taxes, and prohibits such a person from remaining a candidate or appearing on the ballot until all unpaid tax obligations are settled. The financial disclosure statement is a document required by the Ethics Commission to report an individual's financial interests, and this change specifically targets candidates by adding a new requirement to this statement.
