OPAC money is used to support California elected officials who serve on key legislative committees and have supported COA's viewpoints on legislation. You are not limited to the suggested contribution nor are you required to contribute to OPAC.
PLEASE NOTE: Payments/Contributions to COA are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Due to federal laws limiting the tax deduction of membership dues paid to organizations involved in lobbying activities, 17% of your dues payment to COA may not be deducted as a business expense.
