Disclosure bill vaults to Senate
SB 1340 would allow public officials to keep secret details of personal business dealings. The measure, authored by Sen. George Moscone, cleared the Assembly after a prior parliamentary roadblock and moves to the Senate for action on amendments. Republicans warn it waters down privacy protections while Democrats say it clarifies the 1973 disclosure law and preserves its constitutionality. The bill targets private firm earnings reporting and faces court scrutiny over the broader statute.
