Introduced by: S. Chris Jones | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Campaign Finance Disclosure Act; penalties. Provides for a civil penalty of $500 for the failure to file a campaign report by the appropriate deadline. Present law imposes a penalty of up to $300 for either late or incomplete filings. The bill requires the Secretary of the State Board of Elections to assess the penalty for missing the filing deadline and to give public notice on the Internet of the penalty and violator within five days of the missed deadline. The bill does not change the penalties now applicable to timely but incomplete filings. The bill also amends the special provision that imposes a penalty for each day that a statewide office campaign is in violation, increasing the daily fine from $100 to $300.
