Under current law, individuals and committees involved in supporting or opposing ballot measures must file campaign finance information with the Secretary of State (SOS). The requirements of what types of information and when to file vary depending on the type of committee. Filings are available to the public, primarily through the SOS’s Web site. This measure requires the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) to categorize the “nature and interest” of individuals and committees contributing to the support or opposition of ballot measures (such as what industries made the contributions). The LAO would categorize this information a number of times throughout each election cycle, using information provided by SOS. The summary information would be included in the voter information guide, sample ballot, ballot, the LAO’s Web site, and campaign advertising.
