(2) SUBMITTED TO THE TREASURER OF THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE
ENTITY THAT WAS AIDED.
(C) DUTY OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY RECEIVING STATEMENT.
A CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY THAT RECEIVES A CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT
SUBMITTED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL FILE THAT REPORT WITH THE CAMPAIGN
FINANCE REPORT IT FILES UNDER § 13-304 OF THIS SUBTITLE.
(D) POLITICAL CLUB — LIMITATION.
THIS SECTION DOES NOT REQUIRE A POLITICAL CLUB TO REPORT ANY
EXPENDITURE OTHER THAN A CONTRIBUTION OF MONEY TO A CAMPAIGN FINANCE
ENTITY OF A CANDIDATE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 33, § 13-202(b).
Throughout this section, the defined term "campaign finance report" is
substituted for the former reference to a "statement of contributions and
expenditures". Similarly, in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the
defined term "campaign finance entity" is substituted for the former
reference to a "committee", "treasurer of the committee", and "treasurer of
the candidate". See General Revisor's Note to this title and § 1-101 of this
article and, in subsection (d) of this section, the reference to a "campaign
finance entity" of a candidate is added because all campaign finance
activity must be conducted through a campaign finance entity. See §
13-202 of this title.
The former requirement governing a political committee "located outside of
the State of Maryland" is revised in § 13-301 of this subtitle.
In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to "a political committee" is
substituted for the former reference to "committees" for clarity.
In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to the duty of the "campaign
finance entity" to file a certain campaign finance report is substituted for
the former reference to the duty of the "treasurer" for clarity and
consistency with the other provisions of this subtitle.
The Election Law Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by the
General Assembly, that, based on information from the State Board, the
requirement under this section, that the specified entities submit a
campaign finance report to the campaign finance entity aided by the
contributions or expenditures, is generally ignored. The Election Law
Article Review Committee calls this practice to the attention of the
General Assembly.
Defined terms: "Campaign finance entity" § 1-101
"Campaign finance report" § 1-101
"Candidate" § 1-101
