AB 2255: Political Reform Act of 1974: candidate controlled committees: campaign statements.

This bill aims to expand the regulation of campaign financing in California by requiring certain candidate-controlled committees to report additional information on their campaign statements. It would require these committees to disclose the full name and street address of individuals to whom they make expenditures exceeding $20,000, as well as a description of any consideration for these expenditures. The bill would also ensure that a knowing or willful violation of the Political Reform Act of 1974 is treated as a crime, with offenders facing criminal penalties. The bill declares that it furthers the purposes of the act and provides that no reimbursement is required for its implementation.
