Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill eliminates the requirement that candidates report expenditures of $1,000 or more within 24 hours to the Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices. The modification of reporting requirements is anticipated to result in a minor loss of Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the commission because of a reduction in penalties assessed for late-filed reports.
