Bill Summary

General Description: This bill establishes annual year-end campaign finance reporting for municipal candidates until campaign account dissolution.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws regarding municipal election campaign finance reporting to require candidates to file annual year-end summary reports detailing their campaign account's ending balance, total contributions and expenditures for the previous year, and any previously unreported contributions or expenditures, until their campaign account is officially dissolved. The bill also clarifies definitions for terms like "candidate" and "personal use expenditure" and establishes penalties, including a $100 fine for late filing of the year-end report, with provisions for candidates to contest the fine. Furthermore, it outlines the process for a candidate to terminate their reporting duty by filing a statement of account dissolution, confirming no remaining funds and attaching a final zero-balance report, and specifies how any remaining campaign funds must be disposed of before dissolution.
