Electronic Filing Bill Passes Senate

Senate Bill 1204 (Denham) passed the Senate by a 38 to 0 earlier this week, setting the stage for state and local agencies to offer the option of electronically filing "Statements of Economic Interest" (Form 700) for elected and appointed officials and candidates for public office.  The bill is sponsored by the Orange County Board of Supervisors and now moves to the Assembly Rules Committee for further review.
