Big thanks to #SB1360 coauthors @HenrySternCA @Cervantes4Asm @kevinmullin @AsmMuratsuchi @SantiagoAD53 @JoshBeckerSV @AsmJesseGabriel for supporting our first-in-the-nation bill to add top funder requirement for online ads to #AB249 #CA #DISCLOSEAct by @kevinmullin. 7/
#SB1360 also ensures voters know they must be shown an "Official Top Funders" sheet w/top 3 funders before signing initiative, referendum, & recall petitions.
Circulators were required to show them w/#SB47 #Petition #DISCLOSEAct by @BenAllenCA in 2019, but many weren't. ⬇️4/
#SB1360 also makes it easier to see top 3 funders of TV ads for ballot measures & by SuperPACs for & against candidates. #CA #DISCLOSEAct already requires them, but w/long committee names they're sometimes hard to read.
⬇️ shows the problem & the new law! 3/
#SB1360 is the FIRST law in the nation to require online image & banner ads about ballot measures or by SuperPACs to show their top funder on the ads.
⬇️ shows an example of the problem and how #SB1360 extends the #CA #DISCLOSEAct to clearly show who pays for such online ads. 2/
#AB1416's historic #Ballot #DISCLOSEAct victory would never have happened without the thousands of #CleanMoney and other activists & supporters who attending hearings/meetings & generated 39,472 petition signatures and 100s of phone calls, tweets, etc! Thank you all! 10/End

When we needed Assembly #Ballot #DISCLOSEAct bill, #CleanMoneyChampion @SantiagoAD53 immediately saw how important it was & stepped up to the plate to author #AB1416 last year!
He & @HenrySternCA were the team we needed to get this historic bill through both the legislature! 5/
#CleanMoneyChampion Senator @HenrySternCA authored 1st #Ballot #DISCLOSEAct, #SB636, w/us in 2019! It passed #CA Senate 31-5 but got opposition in Assembly.
We started gearing up our grassroots while addressing concerns, then COVID hit. But that wouldn't stop him or us! 4/
#AB1416 #Ballot #DISCLOSEAct ensures EVERY voter knows who's for & against ballot measures by adding a short list (max 125 characters) from official ballot arguments in voter guide to end of ballot label.
