	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 528, as introduced, Silva. Local government: reorganization:
expenditure reporting.
   Existing law, the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government
Reorganization Act requires contributions and expenditures for
political purposes on boundary changes approved by a local agency
formation commission be disclosed and reported to the commission to
the same extent and subject to the same requirements of the Political
Reform Act of 1974 as provided for local initiative measures.
   This bill would revise these provisions to require the
expenditures to be disclosed and reported pursuant to the Political
Reform Act of 1974.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
