HB 720 Campaign Finance Disclosure Act; electronic filing.
Introduced by: M. Kirkland Cox | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Campaign Finance Disclosure Act. Provides that a candidate for the General Assembly who files campaign finance disclosure reports with the State Board of Elections by computer or electronic means will be relieved of the requirement to file copies of the reports with the local electoral board of the county or city where he resides. Candidates filing paper reports with the State Board will continue to file locally. The bill authorizes local electoral boards to accept computer or electronic reports from candidates for local office and requires the posting of those reports on the Internet. The secretaries of local electoral boards are given authority to assess fines against local candidates for late or incomplete filings. The penalty provision is revised to make it clear that the grace periods available for amending incomplete reports do not apply to the failure to file timely reports.
