AI Summary

This bill enhances disclosure of campaign finance activity by expanding the depository reporting system to include legislative candidates. Specifically, it amends existing election laws to remove the exemption for legislative candidates from filing the same financial disclosure reports as other state and county candidates. This change will require legislative candidates, as well as the political committees organized on their behalf, to file the same periodic depository reports that are currently required for other state and county-level offices.
