Existing law requires the Fair Political Practices Commission to bring an administrative action alleging violations of the Political Reform Act of 1974 within five years after the date on which the violation occurred. For violations that occurred on or after January 1, 2025, this bill would instead require the Fair Political Practices Commission to bring such an administrative action within the lesser of five years after the date on which the violation occurred or two years after specified events triggering an investigation. Existing law contains various statutes of limitations for civil prosecutions of violations of the Political Reform Act of 1974. Notwithstanding any other law, for violations that occurred on or after January 1, 2025, this bill would require the Fair Political Practices Commission to bring civil actions within two years of specified events triggering an investigation. The Political Reform Act of 1974, an initiative measure, provides that the Legislature may amend the act to further the act's purposes upon a 23 vote of each house of the Legislature and compliance with specified procedural requirements. This bill would declare that it furthers the purposes of the act.
