Description

Campaign contributions; filing of finance reports. Changes the reporting requirement from any single contribution of $1,000 or more to all financial activity of a campaign committee of a candidate for a statewide office or the General Assembly knowingly received or reported by the candidate or his treasurer on behalf of his candidacy during the period beginning January 1 and ending on the day immediately before the first day of a regular session of the General Assembly to be reported to the State Board of Elections not later than January 15. Under current law, such single contributions of $1,000 or more during such time period are also required to be included in the next report of the candidate, but under the bill, none of the financial activity reported for such time period is required to be reported on any subsequent report.
