county candidates when the city or county has not already enacted a contribution limit on such candidates per AB 571 (2019). Special rules apply to AB 571 candidate committees. Please see the FPPC’s AB 571 fact sheet available on the FPPC website for additional rules applicable only to AB 571 candidates. In addition, federal and state tax laws and other rules may also apply. The Appendix contains telephone numbers and website addresses for the Federal Election Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the California Franchise Tax Board, and the Federal Communications Commission. State candidates and officeholders, their controlled committees, and committees primarily formed to support or oppose a state candidate(s) should refer to FPPC’s Campaign Disclosure Manual 1. Controlling Law This manual summarizes key campaign disclosure laws and regulations and draws from years of FPPC staff advice on complying with the Act’s campaign disclosure laws. Each committee’s activity is different, however, and may raise issues not discussed in this manual. If there are any discrepancies between the manual and the Act or its corresponding regulations, the Act and its regulations will control. Need Help?
