California legislation to prohibit public officials from voting on public contracts that benefit their family members and relatives is winning bipartisan support in the Legislature.
Senate Bill 1111, introduced by Sen. Dave Min, unanimously passed the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee April 22, after also unanimously passing the Senate Local Government Committee the week before.
The bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Mr. Min said he introduced the measure after an LAist news report, published in January, revealed Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do voted on contracts that included $13.5 million to the nonprofit Warner Wellness Center, where his 22-year-old daughter is listed on tax filings as president.
Mr. Do did not disclose publicly he had any connection to the organization.
