Governor Brown has signed AB 249, the California DISCLOSE Act!
As California Clean Money Campaign President Trent Lange said in our press release, "With the quiet gesture of a signature, Governor Brown has loudly proclaimed California to be the national leader on the most important issue of our era: taking our democracy back from the special interests and restoring it to the people."
This historic victory after a nearly 7 year grassroots campaign gives California the strongest law in the country to stop secret money from buying elections. For the first time ever, ballot measure ads and independent expenditure ads for and against candidates will have to clearly and prominently show their top 3 funders on the ads themselves. And for the first time ever, ballot measure ads will have to show their true funders even if they try to hide behind layers of front groups.
