A CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT FILED BY A CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY UNDER
SUBSECTION (A) OF THIS SECTION SHALL INCLUDE THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY
THE STATE BOARD WITH RESPECT TO ALL CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED AND ALL
EXPENDITURES MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY
DURING THE DESIGNATED REPORTING PERIOD.
(C) CONTINUING REQUIREMENT FOR CANDIDATES.
A CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT PRESCRIBED BY THIS SUBTITLE FOR THE
CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY OF A CANDIDATE IS REQUIRED WHETHER OR NOT:
(1) THE CANDIDATE FILES A CERTIFICATE OF CANDIDACY;
(2) THE CANDIDATE WITHDRAWS, DECLINES A NOMINATION, OR
OTHERWISE CEASES TO BE A CANDIDATE;
(3) THE CANDIDATE'S NAME APPEARS ON THE PRIMARY BALLOT; OR
(4) THE CANDIDATE IS SUCCESSFUL IN THE ELECTION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b), and (c)(2) through (4) of this section are
new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 33, §
13-401(a), (d)(1), and (e), as they related to the requirement that campaign
finance entities file certain campaign finance reports.
Subsection (c)(1) of this section is new language added for clarity and
completeness because, under current law, an individual may be deemed a
"candidate" even though the individual may never actually file a certificate
of candidacy. See § 1-101 of this article.
Throughout this section, the defined term "campaign finance report" is
added. See General Revisor's Note to this title.
In subsection (a) of this section, the clause "[f]rom the date of its
organization until its termination under the provisions of this title" is
added for clarity.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the defined term "campaign finance
entity" is substituted for the former references to "candidate", "treasurer",
"chairman and ... treasurer", and "chairmen and ... treasurers" for clarity
and consistency with the other provisions of this title. See General
Revisor's Note to this title and § 1-101 of this article.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to a candidate
"for nomination or election to public or party office," is deleted. See General
Revisor's Note to this title.
In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to the "designated reporting
period" is substituted for the former reference to the period "through and
including the seventh day immediately preceding the day by which that
report is to be filed" in light of the revision of the designated reporting
periods under § 13-312 of this subtitle.
