Reminder for anyone making independent expenditures in connection with California state elections:

A Form 496 must be filed within 24 hours when independent expenditures totaling $1,000 or more (in the aggregate) are made to support or oppose a single state candidate or state ballot measure during the 90 days before, or on the date of, the election.

The 24-hour reporting window comes quickly. Make sure you are tracking expenditures and filing timelines closely to stay compliant.

πŸ“’ Filing Reminder: FPPC Form 496 (Independent Expenditure Report)

If your committee is making independent expenditures to support or oppose a candidate or ballot measure, it’s essential to know your filing deadlines for Form 496.

Key Deadlines to Remember:

24-Hour Filing: Required when independent expenditures for a single candidate or measure total $1,000 or more during the 90 days leading up to an election.

10-Business Day Filing: Required for certain recipient committees making expenditures of $5,000 or more to support or oppose the qualification of a ballot measure outside the 90-day window.

Transparency builds public trust. Stay compliant and help keep California voters informed.
