Quick answers
Did CA AB 1286 pass?
Yes. CA AB 1286 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2025-10-01): Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 186, Statutes of 2025.
What is CA AB 1286 about?
The Political Reform Act of 1974 requires specified public officials to file statements disclosing their investments and interests in real property on the date they assume office, and income received during the 12 months before assuming office, and to file subsequent statements at intervals specified by regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission and upon leaving office. This bill would also require those public officials to disclose arrangements for prospective employment according to specified deadlines. The bill would define "arrangement for prospective employment" as an agreement pursuant to which a prospective employer's offer of employment has been accepted by the prospective employee. The Political Reform Act of 1974, an initiative measure, provides that the Legislature may amend the act to further the act's purposes upon a 23 vote of each house of the Legislature and compliance with specified procedural requirements. This bill would declare that it furthers the purposes of the act. A violation of the Political Reform Act of 1974 is punishable as a misdemeanor. By creating new disclosure requirements and therefore creating new crimes under the act, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
