Below are links to the current version of the Political Reform Act, its appendices, and an index of terms. The appendices to the Act include legal opinions issued by the Commission, as well as relevant statutory provisions related to government contracting law, which recently came under the jurisdiction of the FPPC (Gov. Code, §§ 1090 et seq.).

The Act is updated annually to reflect statutory changes enacted by the Legislature or by voters through the initiative process. A highlighted version of the Act and its appendices is provided to clearly show the changes made over the past year.

A detailed History of the Act is available for those interested in learning more about the landmark law that established California as a national leader in regulating campaign finance and government ethics.
