Cal. Elec. Code § 18622 — Improper Payments to Prevent Petition Circulation and Filing is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
Every person who offers to buy or does buy from a circulator any referendum, initiative, or recall petition on which one or more persons have affixed their signatures is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or both. This section is not intended to prohibit compensation of a circulator, for his or her services, by a proponent of the petition or his or her agent.
