SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Campaign Finance Disclosure Act; penalties. Provides for a civil penalty not to exceed $500 for the failure to file a campaign report by the due date and provides for additional $500 penalties for second and subsequent failures during one election cycle. 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. The bill does not change the $300 fine now applicable to timely but incomplete filings before and after the November election. 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 and requiring the State Board to file notices of violations on the Internet.
