The Political Reform Act of 1974: late filing of reports.

CA SB1389 aims to change the rules about when reports must be filed under the Political Reform Act of 1974. Specifically, it amends Section 91013 of the Government Code to address late filings. This could impact how political entities manage their reporting obligations and penalties for late submissions.

Supporters of CA SB1389 argue that this bill will streamline the reporting process for political entities, making it easier for them to comply with regulations. They believe that by clarifying the rules around late filings, it will encourage transparency and accountability in political financing.

Critics of CA SB1389 may claim that the bill weakens the enforcement of reporting deadlines, potentially allowing for more lax compliance among political entities. They worry that this could lead to a lack of transparency and accountability in political fundraising and spending, undermining public trust in the political system.
