WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                     Ch. 11

which the report or statement in [subsection (a)(5) above]
PARAGRAPH (5) OF THIS SUBSECTION or any subsequent report or
statement is filed, annually on the anniversary of the general
election until no cash balance, unpaid bill, or deficit remains;
and

(7)  If a cash balance or outstanding debts or
deficits were reflected on the last preceding report, but have
all been eliminated by the date on which the next report is due,
then a report clearly marked as "final" shall be filed on or
before such date showing all transactions since the last report;
and

(8)  If a candidate does not intend to receive
contributions or make expenditures of $300 or more, exclusive of
his filing fee, he and his treasurer may jointly execute an
affidavit to that effect on a form prescribed by the State
Administrative Board of Election Laws. If he does not in fact
receive contributions or make expenditures of $300 or more, no
further reports need be filed pursuant to this section. The
affidavit shall be filed not later than the date by which the
first report is due. If at any time the cumulative contributions
to or expenditures by a candidate who has filed such an affidavit
equal or exceed $300, he and his treasurer shall thereafter file
all reports required by this section and failure to do so
constitutes a failure to file and the commission of a misdemeanor
subject to the penalties prescribed in § 26-20 OF THIS ARTICLE.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a stylistic error in an
internal reference and in a cross-reference in Article
33, § 26-ll(a).

The stylistic errors occurred in Ch. 613 of the Acts
of 1968.

The stylistic error in the internal reference was
noted by the Michie Company. The stylistic error in
the cross-reference was noted by the professional
staff of the Legislative Division of the Department of
Legislative Reference.

(d) The chairmen and the treasurers of all other committees
shall file the report or statement of contributions and
expenditures, as prescribed in accordance with § 26-12 of this
article, at each of the times and for the respective periods
specified in subsection (a) of this section. Each report, filed
in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2) [below] OF THIS
SUBSECTION, shall be filed in duplicate. This report or
statement shall be filed with:

(1) The local board of the county or Baltimore City
at which a candidate supported or opposed by a committee has
