SB401 allows the commission to extend filing deadlines for individuals in emergency areas.

SB401 amends the Political Reform Act of 1974 to allow the commission to extend filing deadlines for individuals living in areas impacted by an emergency situation. The extension cannot exceed 60 days from the original deadline and does not apply to campaign statements or reports within 90 days before an election. An "emergency situation" is defined as an emergency proclaimed by the Governor or a local governing body under the California Emergency Services Act.
