California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 22, 2026

What SB 900 does, verified August 22, 2026

This bill aims to amend the disclosure requirements for top contributors to political committees. For mass mailings, it would require disclosure of the top 5 contributors, rather than the top 3. The bill also clarifies what constitutes electronic media advertisements and permits the use of approved abbreviations or word omissions to shorten the names of top contributors in certain cases. Additionally, it updates the statements required on advertisements supporting or opposing candidates to be more concise. The bill does not require reimbursement for certain costs mandated by the state and declares that it furthers the purposes of the Political Reform Act of 1974.
