Section § 84251
This law clarifies that any payment intended to influence voters or a local agency formation commission (LAFCO) about the approval or rejection of a proposal is considered a payment for political purposes.
A payment made for “political purposes,” as that term is used in Sections 82015 and 82025, includes a payment made for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the actions of voters or a local agency formation commission for or against the qualification, adoption, or passage of a LAFCO proposal.

Section § 84252
This law requires committees formed to support or oppose a LAFCO proposal to file monthly campaign statements. This filing starts once a petition circulates and continues until a measure is either placed on the ballot or the committee ends, following a specific section. Each month, by the 15th, they must submit statements covering the previous month to the county clerk where the measure could be voted on. If the petition leads to a ballot measure, standard campaign statement requirements apply thereafter.
A committee primarily formed to support or oppose a LAFCO proposal shall file all statements required under this chapter except that, in lieu of the statements required by Sections 84200 and 84202.3, the committee shall file monthly campaign statements from the time circulation of a petition begins until a measure is placed on the ballot or, if a measure is not placed on the ballot, until the committee is terminated pursuant to Section 84214. The committee shall file an original and one copy of each statement on the 15th day of each calendar month, covering the prior calendar month, with the clerk of the county in which the
measure may be voted on. If the petition results in a measure that is placed on the ballot, the committee thereafter shall file campaign statements required by this chapter.
