Great story in @Capitol_Weekly by @bjoseph1 on the importance of #AB868 the Digital Advertisements Transparency Act by @AsmLoriDWilson & @CA_FPPC. So important so the press, the public, and enforcers can review ALL California online political ads!

California won't be doing business with @walgreens -- or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk.
We're done.

Big thanks to #SB1360 coauthors @HenrySternCA @Cervantes4Asm @kevinmullin @AsmMuratsuchi @SantiagoAD53 @JoshBeckerSV @AsmJesseGabriel for supporting our first-in-the-nation bill to add top funder requirement for online ads to #AB249 #CA #DISCLOSEAct by @kevinmullin. 7/

@SenatorUmberg led on new #DisclosureClarityAct #SB1360, working w/@BenAllenCA & us on concerns while making online ads, TV ads, & initiative petitions clearly show top funders. That's why he's a #CleanMoneyChampion!
It passed Senate 33-4 & Assembly 62-10 - bipartisan votes! 6/

#CleanMoneyChampion Senator @BenAllenCA introduced first version of #DisclosureClarityAct, #SB752, last year. It passed Senate 35-0, but opposition in the Assembly to other parts of the bill got it killed in Assembly Appropriations.
But we weren't about to quit! 5/

#SB1360 also ensures voters know they must be shown an "Official Top Funders" sheet w/top 3 funders before signing initiative, referendum, & recall petitions.
Circulators were required to show them w/#SB47 #Petition #DISCLOSEAct by @BenAllenCA in 2019, but many weren't. ⬇️4/

#SB1360 also makes it easier to see top 3 funders of TV ads for ballot measures & by SuperPACs for & against candidates. #CA #DISCLOSEAct already requires them, but w/long committee names they're sometimes hard to read.
⬇️ shows the problem & the new law! 3/

#SB1360 is the FIRST law in the nation to require online image & banner ads about ballot measures or by SuperPACs to show their top funder on the ads.
⬇️ shows an example of the problem and how #SB1360 extends the #CA #DISCLOSEAct to clearly show who pays for such online ads. 2/

Voters should be able to see who supports and opposes ballot measures right on their ballot.
That’s why I am proud to join @SenHenryStern and @CACleanMoney to introduce #AB1416, the #DISCLOSEAct to do just that.
Join us! Let’s give voters more transparency!
