What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Currently, each registrant for whom the Government Accountability Board serves as filing officer and who accepts contributions in a total amount or value of $20,000 or more during a campaign period must file its campaign finance reports with the board electronically. For a registrant other than a candidate or a personal campaign committee or candidate support committee, the campaign period is a two-year period. Any registrant who or which is not required to file electronically may elect to do so.
This bill permits any registrant for whom the board serves as filing officer to file either electronically or on paper at the registrant's option.
