NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Fair Political Practices
Commission, under the authority vested in it by Section 83112 of the
Government Code, proposes to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations in Title 2,
Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. The Fair Political
Practices Commission will consider the proposed regulation at a public
hearing on or after June 18, 2009 at the offices of the Fair Political
Practices Commission, 428 J Street, Suite 800, Sacramento, California,
commencing at approximately 10:00 a.m. Written comments must be received at
the Commission offices no later than 5:00 PM on June 16, 2009.
BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW:
Government Code Section 84506.6 was added to the Political
Reform Act by Stats. 2007, Ch. 495, to require that an advertisement
supporting or opposing a candidate that is paid for by an independent
expenditure include a statement that it was not authorized by a candidate or
committee controlled by a candidate. Title 2, Section 18450.4 implements a
series of related advertising disclosure statutes, but has not yet been
amended to reference this newly-enacted statute. In addition, questions
from the public indicate a need to more fully illustrate the term "over size
print media" in subdivision (e)(4) of the current regulation.
REGULATORY ACTION:
Adopt 2 Cal. Code Regs. Section 18450.4:
The proposed amendment implements Government Code Section
84506.5 by specifying that the statute is subject to the advertising
disclosure rules stated at 2 Cal. Code Regs. Section 18450.4. The
regulation is also amended to include campaign "yard signs" as an example of
"over size print media" within the regulation's definition of this term.
