LEVINE ACT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FOR

LICENSES, PERMITS, OR OTHER ENTITLEMENTS FOR USE
(DEVELOPMENT)
Background: California Government Code § 84308, commonly referred to as the "Levine Act," prohibits City Officers from participating in any proceeding concerning a license, permit, other entitlement for use, franchise, or contract (collectively “license, permit, or contract”) if they receive campaign contribution(s) from a Party or Participant to the proceeding , or their Agents, totaling more than $ 500 in the preceding 12 months. The Levine Act also prohibits City Officers from accepting, soliciting, or directing campaign contributions over $500 from Parties or Participants to a proceeding, or in any amount by their Agents, while a proceeding is pending and for 12 months following the final decision in a proceeding. See definitions of Party, Participant, and Agent in the Definitions attached.

Levine Act requirements apply when the City Officer or the body of which they are a member has the authority to make any decision or recommendation in the proceeding . City Officers include City elected or appointed officers, their alternates, and any candidate for elective office. City Officers are listed at the following sites:
• City elected officers - https://www.fresno.gov/cityofficials/ • Board members and Commissioners - https://www.fresno.gov/cityclerk/#boards-&- commission- application
Parties are responsible for reviewing and disclosing on the record of a proceeding their and their Agent’s campaign contributions to City Officers over $500 in the 12 months preceding any decision rendered by the agency. A “Party” to a proceeding means the applicant as well as the subject of the proceeding.

Both the applicant and the subject of a proceeding are required to provide information about campaign contributions to City Officers made by them, their Agents on behalf of them or their organization(s), their organization(s) subject to the proceeding with the City, and any organization they direct or control pursuant to the aggregation rules set forth by FPPC Reg. § 18438.5, except for uncompensated officers of a nonprofit organization. When a closed corporation is a Party or Participant to a proceeding subject to the Levine Act, the majority shareholder is subject to the disclosure and prohibition requirements of the Levine Act.
