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 an 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:
