Informal Assistance Telephone and Email Advice:

This advice is considered informal assistance and conservative responses are provided. In most instances, email advice will link you to the appropriate reference material posted on the FPPC website. Both Telephone and Email Advice provide guidance based on facts provided through the inquiry. Advice does not provide immunity under Government Code Section 83114 and does not constitute legal advice or alter any legal right or liability. Political Reform Consultants will respond to your request for guidance but the response is not a rule, regulation or statement binding or a final decision of the FPPC. Advice is only applicable to the specific person submitting the question and to the specific question asked. Notes: • Answers to questions on past conduct or hypothetical situations are not provided. • Advice regarding a person's duty is only provided to that person or their authorized representative. • The FPPC does not provide guidance on laws other than the Political Reform Act (e.g. the Elections Code, the Brown Act, Federal or local laws.). • The FPPC does not confirm in writing telephone advice. • To report a violation of the Act, contact the Enforcement Division, click here. • All calls and emails from reporters will be routed to the FPPC's press staff. Helpful Hints: • Campaign Questions: Different committees have different filing deadlines and reporting obligations. Identify if the committee is city, county or state and the type of committee, candidate, ballot measure etc. A committee ID number is helpful.
