The type of activity these laws were enacted to limit is often referred to as “pay-to-play,” and is governed in California by Government Code section 84308. Parties to any proceedings involving a “license, permit, or other entitlement for use,” as that term is defined in the Political Reform Act, pending before the City Council must disclose any campaign contribution over $500 (aggregated) within the preceding 12 months made by the party, their agent, and those required to be aggregated with their contributions under Gov. Code § 82015.5. The disclosure must include the amount contributed and the name(s) of the contributor(s).
