AB 635

Under this bill, for campaign finance purposes, a political action committee

includes a person, other than an individual, that spends more than $1,000 in a

12-month period on expenditures for express advocacy, expenditures made to

support or defeat a referendum, or contributions made to a candidate committee,

legislative campaign committee, or political party.

Current law provides that a political action committee is a person, other than

an individual, that either has express advocacy as its major purpose or spends more

than 50 percent of its total spending in a 12-month period on expenditures for

express advocacy, expenditures made to support or defeat a referendum, and

contributions made to a candidate committee, legislative campaign committee, or

political party.
