PART VI. VIOLATIONS.
13-327. FAILURE TO FILE.
(A) IN GENERAL.
A CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY THAT FAILS TO FILE A CAMPAIGN FINANCE
REPORT REQUIRED BY THIS SUBTITLE IS SUBJECT TO THE SANCTIONS PROVIDED IN
PART VII OF THIS SUBTITLE.
(B) FAILURE TO PROVIDE REQUIRED INFORMATION.
THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE ON A CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT REQUIRED BY §
13-304 OF THIS SUBTITLE ALL OF THE INFORMATION REQUIRED OF THE CAMPAIGN
FINANCE ENTITY BY THE STATE BOARD UNDER THIS SUBTITLE IS DEEMED A
FAILURE TO FILE AND RENDERS THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT OVERDUE, ONLY
IF:
(1) THE STATE BOARD NOTIFIES THE RESPONSIBLE OFFICERS IN
WRITING OF THE PARTICULAR DEFICIENCIES; AND
(2) THE RESPONSIBLE OFFICERS FAIL TO FILE A PROPERLY CORRECTED
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER SERVICE OF THE NOTICE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 33, § 13-403(d).
Throughout this section, the defined terms "campaign finance report" and
"campaign finance entity" are added for clarity. See General Revisor's Note
to this title and § 1-101 of this article.
In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the defined term "responsible officer(s]"
is substituted for the former reference to the "candidate, chairman, or
treasurer" for clarity and for consistency with other provisions of this
subtitle and § 1-101 of this article.
The Election Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration of
the General Assembly, that this section and § 13-328 of this subtitle are
not inconsistent as to whether the failure to provide information
constitutes a failure to file. The criteria for determining whether a failure
to provide information is a failure to file are different under the two
sections because the implications of a failure to file are vastly different
under the two sections (i.e., the penalties for a failure to file under this
section are far more severe while under § 13-328 the penalty merely
results in the placing of a person's name on a list of defaulters).
The Election Law Article Review Committee also notes, for the
consideration of the General Assembly, that in subsection (b) of this section
