Political Reform Act of 1974: electronic filing.

Existing law authorizes the Counties of Los Angeles, Merced, Orange, and Stanislaus to participate in a pilot program to permit the electronic filing of statements of economic interests. This bill would additionally authorize the Counties of Santa Clara and Ventura, as well as the City of Long Beach, to permit the electronic filing of the required statements of economic interests. 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 and compliance with specified procedural requirements. This bill would declare that it furthers the purposes of the act.
