This title shall be known and may be cited as the “Political Reform Act of 1974.” References at the time of publication (see page 3): Regulations: 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18200 § 81001. Findings and Declarations. The people find and declare as follows: (a) State and local government should serve the needs and respond to the wishes of all citizens equally, without regard to their wealth; (b) Public officials, whether elected or appointed, should perform their duties in an impartial manner, free from bias caused by their own financial interests or the financial interests of persons who have supported them; (c) Costs of conducting election campaigns have increased greatly in recent years, and candidates have been forced to finance their campaigns by seeking large contributions from lobbyists and organizations who thereby gain disproportionate influence over governmental decisions; (d) The influence of large campaign contributors is increased because existing laws for disclosure of campaign receipts and expenditures have proved to be inadequate; (e) Lobbyists often make their contributions to incumbents who cannot be effectively challenged because of election laws and abusive practices which give the incumbent an unfair advantage; (f) The wealthy individuals and organizations which make large campaign contributions frequently extend their influence by employing lobbyists and spending large amounts to influence legislative and administrative actions; (g) The influence of large campaign contributors in ballot measure elections is increased because the ballot pamphlet mailed to the voters by the state is difficult to read and almost impossible for a layman to understand; and (h) Previous laws regulating political practices have suffered from inadequate enforcement by state and local authorities. § 81002. Purposes of Title. The people enact this title to accomplish the following purposes: (a) Receipts and expenditures in election campaigns should be fully and truthfully disclosed in order that the voters may be fully informed and improper practices may be inhibited.
§ 81003. 6 § 81007. (b) The activities of lobbyists should be regulated and their finances disclosed in order that improper influences will not be directed at public officials. (c) Assets and income of public officials which may be materially affected by their official actions should be disclosed and in appropriate circumstances the officials should be disqualified from acting in order that conflicts of interest may be avoided. (d) The state ballot pamphlet should be converted into a useful document so that voters will not be entirely dependent on paid advertising for information regarding state measures. (e) Laws and practices unfairly favoring incumbents should be abolished in order that elections may be conducted more fairly. (f) Adequate enforcement mechanisms should be provided to public officials and private citizens in order that this title will be vigorously enforced. History: Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 289. References at the time of publication (see page 3): Regulations: 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18313.5 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18702 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18702.1 2 Cal. Code of Regs.

Code of Regs. Section 18702 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18702.1 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18708 § 81004. Reports and Statements; Perjury; Verification. (a) All reports and statements filed under this title shall be signed under penalty of perjury and verified by the filer. The verification shall state that the filer has used all reasonable diligence in its preparation, and that to the best of his knowledge it is true and complete. (b) A report or statement filed by a committee which qualifies under subdivision (a) of Section 82013 shall be signed and verified by the treasurer, and a report or statement filed by any other person shall be signed and verified by the filer. If the filer is an entity other than an individual, the report or statement shall be signed and verified by a responsible officer of the entity or by an attorney or a certified public accountant acting as agent for the entity. Every person who signs and verifies any report or statement required to be filed under this title which contains material matter which he knows to be false is guilty of perjury. History: Amended by Stats. 1985, Ch. 775. References at the time of publication (see page 3): Regulations: 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18426.1 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18427 2 Cal. Code of Regs.
