Senate concurs on SB 401 to allow limited FPPC filing extensions during declared emergencies
Summary
SB 401 (Public Service Emergency Reporting Act) would permit the Fair Political Practices Commission limited authority to grant up to 60‑day filing deadline extensions during declared emergencies; the Senate concurred with assembly amendments on the floor.
Senator Hurtado presented SB 401, describing it as the Public Service Emergency Reporting Act that would allow the Fair Political Practices Commission "limited authority to extend certain filing deadlines under the political reform act when a declared emergency is reasonably likely to affect a filer's ability to file on time." Assembly amendments added safeguards limiting any extension to 60 days and prohibiting extensions for campaign reports or statements due within 90 days of an election.
The measure was placed on the unanimous roll call; the chamber recorded 'ayes 39, noes 0' and the assembly amendments were concurred in, advancing SB 401 to the next stage.
