REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b), and (c)(2) through (6) of this section are
new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 33, §
13-204.
Subsection (c)(1) of this section is new language added for clarity.
Throughout this section, the defined term "campaign finance entity" is
substituted for the former references to "candidate, political committee,
central committee", "treasurer or subtreasurer", "campaign treasurer or
subtreasurer", and "treasurer" for clarity. See General Revisor's Note to
this title and § 1-101 of this article.
