SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Campaign finance; deadline for reports of independent expenditures; filings by political action and political party committees.  Requires filing independent expenditure reports by earlier of 24 hours after (i) making expenditure, or (ii) publishing or publicly broadcasting materials to influence voting for or against an identified candidate.  Requires that independent expenditure reports filed by a political action committee or political party committee that has not yet filed a statement of organization provide the information required on a statement of organization. Current law allows a committee 10 days after it is organized to file its statement of organization. This bill requires a political action committee or political party committee that makes an independent expenditure during this 10-day period or any period during which the committee has not filed a statement of organization to file a report with complete information within 24 hours of spending funds or publishing or publicly broadcasting candidate-related materials.
