GSGL-14. CAMPAIGN AND FINANCE DISCLOSURE (11) <br />The League supports legislation which would simplify the election process <br />so that it would encourage rather than discourage candidates for local office. <br />1. Eliminating any distinction between types of campaign committees and <br />reporting requirements. <br />2. Providing the option of any size city to adopt an ordinance to require <br />campaign and finance disclosure. <br />3. Opposes any state -mandated requirement of candidates for city office <br />to file statements of economic interest. <br />4. Opposes campaign contribution limits or reporting requirements in <br />cities less than 20,000 population. <br />GSGL-IS. VOTING EQUIPMENT (C) <br />GSGL-16. CREATION OF STATE ACIR (C) <br />The League supports the creation of a state -local intergovernmental <br />relations advisory committee. <br />Recently, the State Planning Agency has advocated the creation of a state <br />version of the federal advisory commission on intergovernmental relations which <br />would advise the executive and legislative branches of state government on <br />important issues affecting state -local relations. Representatives of both state <br />and local governments would be appointed to serve. Local government members <br />would be appointed by their respective statewide associations. <br />GSGL-17. DATA PRACTICES (S) <br />The League supports extension of the data practices act to cover deceased <br />individuals for a reasonable period of time. <br />The current data practices act limits the definition of individuals covered <br />by the act to include only the living. The definition results In government <br />being forced to disseminate information about a deceased individual which may be <br />damaging to the individuals survivors. Sound public policy would dictate <br />continuing the classification of data on a deceased individual for a reasonable <br />period of time. <br />
