Requires any elected official, candidate, candidate committee, or other individual required to file an organizational report who receives a contribution from a lobbyist to deposit the contribution within seven days of its receipt.
AI Summary
This bill requires candidates or individuals authorized to receive campaign funds to deposit any monetary contributions or other campaign funds into a financial institution, such as a bank or credit union, within seven days of receiving them, clarifying existing law that previously only required prompt deposit. Additionally, it mandates that any elected official, candidate, candidate committee, or other individual required to file an organizational report who receives a contribution from a lobbyist, even outside the restricted period before and after legislative sessions, must deposit that contribution within seven days of receipt or before the restricted period begins, whichever comes first, to prevent potential violations of campaign finance rules.
