Cal. Elec. Code § 20202 — Solicitation is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

It is unlawful for any person who solicits funds for the purpose of supporting or promoting any candidates or committees to include in any part of its name the name of that candidate or committee unless that person shall have previously obtained the authorization of the candidate or committee or the candidate’s or committee’s designated agent to use the candidate’s or committee’s name in the name of that person.

Authorization by a candidate or committee shall not be construed as rendering the person soliciting funds a controlled committee as defined by Section 82016 of the Government Code.
