By Burke Partner Chad W. Herrington  

Senate Bill 1439 will make substantial changes to the Levine Act, primarily in the area of local governmental officials’ ability to accept campaign donations from both parties and participants in hearings and decisions regarding licenses, permits, and entitlements for use. SB 1439 became effective on January 1, 2023. While its changes are relatively straightforward, the bill was unclear as to the effect of campaign donations received in the 2022 election cycle.  Read more.
