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 city or county committee may make up to four
contributions in a calendar year to candidates for
elective state office whose districts are within the
same jurisdiction and is not required to change status
as a state committee.
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.
After marking the appropriate state, county or city box,
provide a brief description of the committee's political
activities such as whether it supports candidates or
measures that share a common political affiliation.
Sponsored Committee
A "sponsored committee" is a general purpose or
primarily formed committee, other than an
officeholder or candidate controlled committee,
that has one or more sponsors.
An organization, business, or other entity is a sponsor if
one or more of the following apply:
