A BILL to amend and reenact §3-8-5b of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to campaign financial statements by candidates for municipal office; requiring candidates for municipal offices to file campaign financial statements with the county clerk; and requiring all financial reports for all elected offices to be published online by the filing officer within 48 hours of the close of the filing period.
AI Summary
This bill requires candidates for municipal office to file their campaign financial statements with the county clerk, rather than a municipal officer, and clarifies that if a municipality spans multiple counties, the filing should occur in the county containing the largest portion of that municipality. Additionally, it mandates that all financial reports for all elected offices must be published online by the filing officer within 48 hours of the close of the filing period, making this information more accessible to the public.
