4. 3 Levine Act
5. 4 The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) prohibits, in certain cases, campaign contributions to members of the Board of Supervisors by those who have proceedings (e.g., applications for land use and other entitlements, contracts, etc.) pending before the Board of Supervisors and by those who may have an interest in such proceedings (including those acting as agents for applicants or potential contractors). Moreover, the Levine Act may require disclosure of contributions by such individuals. The law is complex and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or an agent have made any campaign contributions to a Board member in the 12 months before a proceeding in which you have an interest or you are contemplating making a contribution within the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. A 2023 version of the Levine Act and a Fair Political Practices Commission summary of it can be found here: https://www.smcgov.org/bos/levine-act-information
