(C) TRANSFER TO STATE ARCHIVES,
SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION (A) OF THIS SECTION, A BOARD SHALL TRANSFER THE
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORTS FILED WITH IT TO THE STATE ARCHIVES,
(D) OVERDUE REPORTS — SEPARATE RECORD.
(1) BEFORE TRANSFERRING A CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT TO THE
STATE ARCHIVES, A BOARD SHALL MAKE A RECORD OF ANY OVERDUE CAMPAIGN
FINANCE REPORT FROM THE SAME CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY AND SUBMIT A COPY
OF THE RECORD TO THE STATE ARCHIVES AND, IF MADE BY A LOCAL BOARD, TO THE
STATE BOARD.
(2) THE RECORD SHALL INCLUDE:
(I) THE NAME OF THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITY;
(II) THE NAME OF THE TREASURER;
(III) AN IDENTIFICATION OF THE MISSING CAMPAIGN FINANCE
REPORT; AND
(IV) IF NO LATER CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT HAS BEEN FILED BY

FILED.
(E) EVIDENCE.
A COPY OF A CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT MAY BE USED AS EVIDENCE IN A
COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH § 10-204 OF THE COURTS ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 33, § 13-404.
Throughout this section, the references to "campaign finance report[s]" are
substituted for the former references to "reports", "statements", and
"accounts". See General Revisor's Note to this title and § 1-101 of this
article. Similarly, in subsections (a)(3) and (d) of this section, the defined
term "campaign finance entity" is added.
In subsections (a)(1) and (d)(1) of this section, the former references to
"[e]very officer" and "officer", respectively, are deleted as surplusage and as
inherent in the power and authority of a board under this section.
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to "file" is deleted
as included in the comprehensive reference to "preserve".
In subsection (a)(2)(i) of this section, the reference to the retention of a
campaign finance report received by a board for a period not to exceed 5
years "after the campaign finance report is filed" is added for clarity,
specificity, and the presumed legislative intent. The Election Law Article
