LEVINE ACT DISCLOSURES (SB 1181)
If you have donated $500 or more to the campaign of a South San Francisco elected official in the past twelve

• The Levine Act (Gov. Code § 84308) requires any Party, Agent, or Participant, as defined in §84308(a), of a
proceeding involving any grants, denials, renewals, restrictions, or modifications to any licenses and permits,
entitlements for use, contracts, or franchises (“Proceeding”), to disclose on the record any contributions they
have made to any elected, appointed, or candidate for City Officer totaling more than $500 within the preceding
12 months.
• The Levine Act also requires any elected, appointed, alternate, or candidate for City Officer who has received
a contribution totaling $500 within the past 12 months from a Party, Agent, or Participant of a Proceeding to (1)
disclose that fact on the record involving the Proceeding and (2) to recuse themselves from, and in no way
attempt to use their official position to influence any decision involving, the Proceeding.
• Elected, appointed, alternates, or candidates for City Officer are prohibited from accepting, soliciting, and
directing, and Parties, Participants, and Agents are prohibited from making, campaign contributions of more
than $500 while the Proceeding is pending and for 12 months after the date a final decision is rendered for the
Proceeding.
