BILL NUMBER:S793 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the election law, in relation to the manner of filing of campaign financial disclosure statements PURPOSE: To require that last-minute campaign expenditures in excess of $5,000, be disclosed to the Board of Elections within 24 hours. This bill would also require any statements that are required to be filed in the final 15 days preceding an election day to be done so in person or by express mail. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill amends Section 14-108 subdivision 2 to require that all candidates and campaign committees report campaign expenditures or liabilities in excess of $5,000 incurred in the final 10 days preceding an election, to the Board of Elections within 24 hours. Under current law, only contributions in excess of $1,000 are subject to a 24 hour reporting requirement in the final 10 days preceding an election. The bill also amends Section 14-108 subdivision 6 to require that all campaign financial disclosure filings made during the final 15 day period prior to an election, be filed in person or by express mail to assure prompt delivery and dissemination. Currently, such filings are allowed to be made by first class mail.
