What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires committees that support or oppose candidates for elective

state offices to register with, and submit campaign finance reports to, the Ethics

Commission. Generally, those committees submit reports electronically to the

commission by using the commission's campaign finance information system.

Generally, campaign finance reports entered into CFIS are readily available for

public inspection on the commission's website.

Under current law, committees that support or oppose candidates for elective

local offices register with, and submit campaign finance reports to the appropriate

local clerk and the local clerks are required to develop and maintain a filing, coding,

and cross-indexing system for those reports.

This bill requires all committees, political parties, and conduits to register with,

and submit campaign finance reports to, the Ethics Commission through, CFIS.
