SUBJECT: LEGISLATION - SB 116 (Kopp)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors is the SPONSOR of a
portion of SB 116 by Senator Quentin Kopp which would, in part,
authorize local agencies to regulate committees organized to
support or oppose the qualification of local measures for the
ballot.
BACKGROUND•
As a part of its 1991 Legislative Program, the Board of
Supervisors sought passage of legislation would would authorize
the Board of Supervisors to regulate committees which are
attempting to qualify or oppose the qualification of local
measures for the ballot.
While state law currently provides some reporting requirements
for such committees, it is entirely possible for a committee to
meet its current reporting requirements and yet for the public
not to be aware of the source of funds being used to qualify a
measure for the ballot. This is the case because, after an
initial reporting upon formation of the committee, it is possible
that no further reporting will be required until after the
deadline has passed for the submission of petitions to qualify a
measure for the ballot.

Senator Kopp has agreed to amend his SB 116, which already
addresses other matters having to do with the disclosure of
sources of funding for statewide measures to address these
concerns. As amended April 2, 1991, SB 116 contains the language
requested by the Board of Supervisors. In view of the fact that
Senator Kopp has agreed to incorporate the language requested by
the Board of Supervisors in his SB 116, it would be appropriate
for the Board to acknowledge that it is the sponsor of that
portion of SB 116.
