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 on the

website here: https://www.burlingame.org/1206/Levine-Act-Information
