About the Webinar

Starting in 2024, the Levine Act requires elected officials to disqualify from certain contract and entitlement decisions involving a campaign donor. Although this law has been in place since the early 1980s, it previously only applied to appointed bodies, such as the boards of joint powers authorities. Members of legislative bodies will now have to consider the impact of conflict-of-interest laws when accepting contributions. This presentation will focus on election year ethics with an emphasis on the Levine Act. Attendees will learn about the nuances of this new paradigm and what council and board members (and the executives serving them) will need to be aware of as campaign season begins in earnest.
