Contribution Disclosure Statements
As of May 1, 2007
Effective January 1, 1991, state law provides that a Member of the State Board of Equalization, including the State Controller, may not participate in any Board adjudicatory proceeding if the Member has received from a party, a participant, or an agent of either, any contributions(s) equaling or exceeding $250 within the preceding twelve months, and if the Member knows or has reason to know that the participant has a financial interest in the decision. The law also requires that a party, participant, or agent of either disclose on the record any such contribution(s). Board staff must inquire and report to the Board whether any such contribution(s) have been made. (Government Code Section 15626.)
