LEVINE ACT
The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) prohibits, in certain cases,
campaign contributions to members of the City Council by those who have
proceedings (e.g., applications for land use and other entitlements, contracts, etc.)
pending before the City Council and by those who may have an interest in proceedings
(including those acting as agents for applicants or potential contractors). Moreover, the
Levine Act may require disclosure of contributions by such individuals. The law is
complex, and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or any agent have made
any campaign contributions to a City Councilmember in the 12 months before a
proceeding in which you have an interest or you are contemplating making a
contribution within the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the
Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. A 2023 version of the Levine Act and a
Fair Political Practices Commission summary of it can be found here:
