The Political Reform Act of 1974 may be amended by statute if, among other things, the bill in its final form has been delivered to the Fair Political Practices Commission for distribution to the news media and to persons who have requested to receive copies of such bills at least 12 days before passage in each house. This bill instead would require bills amending the act be in final form at least 8 days before passage in each house. However, the bill would require bills amending the act to be in final form at least 12 days before passage in each house if the previous form of the bill did not amend the act. Existing law requires the Legislative Counsel to make specified information pertaining to legislative measures publicly available in electronic form on a computer network, including the text, bill history, and bill status of each bill introduced in each current legislative session. This bill would require the Legislative Counsel to make available to the public the option to sign up to receive email alerts any time a bill to amend the Political Reform Act of 1974 is introduced, amended, or otherwise subject to an action triggering a specified notification. The bill would require these email alerts to be sent as soon as feasible, but no later than 9 a.m. the calendar day after the legislative action that is the subject of the alert. 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.
