Bill
AB 359
AB 359 restructures California's Fair Political Practices Commission to modify its governance or enforcement authority over political finance and ethics compliance.
AB 359 modifies the governance and operations of California's Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), the state agency responsible for enforcing political finance laws and ethics regulations. The bill passed unanimously through both chambers and was signed into law in October 2025, indicating broad bipartisan support for the proposed changes.
The FPPC oversees campaign finance disclosure, lobbying regulations, and conflicts of interest for elected officials—mechanisms critical to government transparency and public trust. Changes to this agency's structure or authority directly affect how California enforces ethics rules and whether political spending and influence are properly disclosed to voters.
