Section 84308 prohibits certain officials, including local elected officials, from taking part in an entitlement for use proceeding if the official has received a contribution exceeding $250 from a party or participant in the proceeding within the preceding 12 months. An official is also prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $250 from a party or participant in the proceeding for 12 months after a final decision is rendered in such a proceeding. As of January 1, 2023, Section 84308 now operates differently in two key ways: 1. Section 84308 now applies to agencies whose members are directly elected by voters including local elected officials such as city councilmembers and county supervisors serving on their respective boards; and 2. Officials are prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $250 from a party or participant for 12 months after the final decision of a proceeding.
