because their identity is not reported to the State Board or a local board.
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, as to the substitution of the defined
term "campaign finance report" for the former reference to "campaign fund
reports", see General Revisor's Note to this title and § 1-101 of this article.
In subsection (d)(1) and (2) of this section, the references to the defined
term "political committee" are substituted for the former references to a
"committee" for clarity. See General Revisor's Note to this title and § 1-101
of this article.
In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the reference to the board "where the
political committee was established" is substituted for the former reference
to the board "where the original appointment was filed" for clarity and
accuracy.
Also in subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former reference to usign[ing]"
a resignation form is deleted as included in the reference to "completing" a
resignation form.
Also in subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former reference to "otherwise
ceas[ing] to be a chairman or treasurer" is deleted as included in the
reference to "resign[ing]".
In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the reference to a political committee's
appointment of a chairman or treasurer in the event of a "vacancy" is
added for clarity and to reflect the former reference to an individual
"otherwise ceas[ing] to be chairman or treasurer".
The Election Law Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by the
General Assembly, that the term "political club" is not defined under the
Election Code. The Attorney General has loosely defined the term to mean
an organization that has dues-paying members, functions between
elections, continues in existence from year to year, and supports from time
to time various candidates and causes. See Letter of Advice dated January
23, 1978, to the Honorable Donald P. Hutchinson, Maryland State Senate,
from George A. Nilson, Deputy Attorney General. The General Assembly
may wish to consider adding a definition of the term in this article.
Defined terms: "Campaign finance report" § 1-101
"Political committee" § 1-101
"State Board" § 1-101
"Treasurer" § 1-101
