California: Do candidates have to disclose their income taxes?

Interesting one here -- California passed a law requiring presidents to disclose their income taxes. The bill was stopped by a judge, but a provision requiring gubernatorial candidates to do so is still enforce. However, it is not clear if it applies to the recall. The law holds that a candidate must file copies of their taxes to have their name printed on the "direct primary election ballot" -- but there is no such ballot in the recall.. It also requires the filing 98 days before the direct primary, but since recalls are 90 days after the certification, it doesn't seem to have enough time to go into force. No idea how this one will play out.
