Review Committee calls this addition to the attention of the General
Assembly.
In subsection (a)(2)(ii) of this section, the reference to the retention of
campaign finance reports for a period longer than 5 years as required by a
court "or the State Board by regulation" is added for clarity and for
consistency with § 2-106 of this article and SG § 10-632.
In subsection (a)(3)(ii)1 of this section, the reference to a candidate who is
"nominated, elected, or completes the term" is substituted for the former
reference to a candidate who is "successful, unsuccessful, or resigns" for
accuracy and consistency.
In subsection (a)(3)(ii)2 of this section, the reference to a campaign finance
report that "relates to more than one candidate" is added for clarity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to the inspection of
campaign finance reports by a "citizen" is deleted as inconsistent with the
requirements of the State public records law under Title 10, Subtitle 6 of
the State Government Article.
In subsection (c) of this section, the clause "[s]ubject to subsection (a) of
this section" is substituted for the former reference to "[t]hereafter" for
clarity.
In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the phrase "from the same campaign
finance entity" is substituted for the former phrase "required to have been
filed by § 13-401 of this subtitle but which have not been filed" for brevity
and accuracy.
Also in subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former references to a
"permanent" record are deleted as redundant and for accuracy.
In subsection (d)(2)(iv) of this section, the phrase "if no later campaign
finance report has been filed" is substituted for the former reference to a
"final report" for accuracy and clarity.
In subsection (e) of this section, the reference to "§ 10-204 of the Courts
Article" is substituted for the former references to "the same extent as the
original... would be if produced and proved" and to reports "certified by the
principal administrative officer in whose office they are kept under the
seal of his office" for brevity and accuracy.
