, which was signed by California governor Gavin Newsom Tuesday, would require candidates starting with the March 2020 primary to hand over five years’ worth of income tax returns if they want to appear on the state primary ballot.The law applies only to the California primary because the state doesn’t have control over ballot procedures for the general election.
