Bill Summary

This bill allows candidates for office to file a sworn statement, currently known as form A-1 for single candidates and A-2 for joint candidates, established by the Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC) to certify that they will adhere to the reporting requirements of the State's campaign expenditures and reporting law at the same time that they file their nominating petition. The current form also requires candidates to certify that the total expenditures made on behalf of their campaign will not exceed certain lawfully established thresholds and that, if they do, the candidate will file the additional forms required by law. The candidates will be allowed to file this form along with their nominating petition, either for the primary election or by direct petition of nomination for the general election. The Secretary of State or the county clerk, as appropriate, will then be required to send these forms, if filed with the nominating petition, along with the names of the candidates who will be placed on the ballot at the election, to ELEC.
