SB 864 - Current law prohibits local officials from using
public funds to advocate the adoption or defeat of any
initiative. This act extends that prohibition to state
officials. It also prohibits any public employee from acting on
behalf of or in opposition to an initiative during working hours,
unless the employee is on leave, and prohibits legislators from
using public funds for mass mailings advocating the passage or
defeat of an initiative. A mass mailing would be defined by the
committee in each chamber responsible for administrative
functions.
