Description: The Supreme Court Advisory Committee on the Code of Judicial Ethics proposes amending the commentary following canon 5B(4) to add a cross-reference to Government Code section 8314. That statute prohibits elected officials from using public resources, including buildings, telephones, and state-compensated time, for a campaign activity. After receiving and reviewing comments on this proposal, the committee will make recommendations to the Supreme Court regarding the proposed amendment.
