Below are State and City
mandated disclosure forms. Due to varying circumstances, some may not be
applicable to all candidates or committees. However, it is important
that all candidates, treasurers and committee principal officers
familiarize themselves with these forms, as failure to meet
disclosure requirements as specified by State Law can result it heavy
fines.
The Fair Political
Practices Commission (FPPC) has produced a manual to explain the purpose
of State disclosure forms, explaining who needs to file each form, and
when.

Candidates and
Treasurers are also recommended to attend a workshop at City Hall,
presented by the FPPC, on state form filing.
