Type of Committee: Controlled Committee A "controlled committee" is one which is controlled directly or indirectly by an officeholder, candidate, or state measure proponent, or which acts jointly with an officeholder, candidate, state measure proponent, or another controlled committee in connection with making expenditures. A committee is controlled if the officeholder, candidate, or proponent, his /her agent, or any other committee he /she controls, has a significant influence on the actions or decisions of the committee. "Proponents" of state measures are persons who request the Attorney General to prepare a title and summary of a state initiative, referendum, or measure. • Candidate Election Committee: Identify the candidate's name, office, election year and party, if applicable. • Ballot Measure Committee Controlled by State Candidate: Identify each measure on which the committee has spent or anticipates spending $50,000 or more in the current two -year period, beginning with January 1 of an odd - numbered year.

Provide this information in the primarily formed or general purpose section or on an attachment. Legal Defense Committee: On an attachment, describe the specific legal dispute or disputes for which the legal defense fund was established. The Form 410 must be amended within 10 days when legal disputes are either resolved or new disputes are initiated. Primarily Formed Committee A committee is "primarily formed" when it makes or initially plans to make more than 70% of its contributions and expenditures to support or oppose a specific candidate or measure, or a group of measures or specific local candidates all being voted upon in the same election on the same date. (FPPC Regulation 18247.5) New committees: A new committee formed within six months of a statewide regular election or within 30 days of a state special election is presumed to be primarily formed if the committee makes at least $25,000 in independent expenditures to support or oppose a state candidate or measure. Monthly review is required for other new committees that spend at least $1,000 a month and were formed within six months of an election in connection with which the committee makes contributions or expenditures. Quarterly review at the end of March, June, September and December is required for other committees. A committee controlled by a candidate for his or her own candidacy is not a primarily formed committee. Recall Committees: A committee supporting or opposing a recall must list the committee measure's title, and the officeholder's name and office. A recall committee will mark whether it supports or opposes the officeholder. FPPC Form 410 (Dec/2012) FPPC Advice: advice@fppc.ca.gov (866/275 -3772) www.fppc.ca.gov ..

FPPC Form 410 (Dec/2012) FPPC Advice: adv1ce@fppc.ca.90v (866/275 -3772) www.fppc.ca.gov Instructions for Statement of Organization General Purpose Committee A committee is a "general purpose committee" if its principal activity is supporting or opposing a variety of candidates or measures voted on in different elections. (FPPC Regulation 18227.5) • A state committee makes contributions or expenditures to support or oppose candidates or measures voted on in state elections, or in more than one county; it does not make over 70% of its contributions or expenditures in a single local jurisdiction. State contributions include contributions to other state general purpose committees. All political party committees (including county central committees) are state committees. • A county committee makes more than 70% of its contributions or expenditures to support or oppose candidates or measures voted on in a single county, or in more than one jurisdiction within one county. This includes contributions to other general purpose committees in the same county. • A city committee makes more than 70% of its contributions or expenditures to support or oppose candidates or measures voted on in a single city, or in one consolidated city and county. This includes contributions to other city general purpose committees in the same city.

A committee that has made contributions or expenditures of $5,000 or more during a quarter must review its activity at the end of March, June, September and December to determine if the committee is filing reports in the appropriate jurisdiction. During the first six months, a new committee must check its jurisdictional status each month the committee makes expenditures of $1,000 or more. If a change of filing locations occurs, reports must be filed in both the new and old jurisdiction through the calendar year.

Who Files: Recipient Committees Persons (including an officeholder or candidate), organizations, groups, or other entities that raise contributions from others totaling $1,000 or more in a calendar year to spend on California elections qualify as a recipient committee.

They must report the amount of their expenditures on California candidates or ballot measures and disclose the sources of those funds. (FPPC Reg. 18215.) Candidates: The personal funds of a candidate or officeholder used to seek or hold elective office are contributions and count toward qualifying as a recipient committee.

These filings must be made by fax, guaranteed overnight delivery, personal delivery or online (if online filing is available.)
