[(d)] (E) An affidavit or a disclosure required under this Part VII shall be in a
form established by the Howard County Solicitor and approved by the County
Council. The completed form shall be filed in the appropriate case file of an
application. The disclosure form shall repeat the penalty provision in § 15-850(a) of
this Part VII.
[(e)] (F) A contribution made after the filing of the initial disclosure and
before final disposition of the application by the County Council shall be disclosed
within 5 business days of the contribution.
[(D] (G) In the enforcement of this Part VII, the administrative clerk to the
zoning board or the administrator of the County Council, as appropriate, considering
an application shall be subject to the authority of the Howard County Ethics
Commission and, unless otherwise directed by the Ethics Commission, shall:
(1) receive filings of affidavits and disclosures;
(2) maintain filed affidavits and disclosures as public records available
for review by the general public during normal business hours;
(3) report violations to the Howard County Ethics Commission; and
(4) perform ministerial duties necessary to administer this Part VII.
[(g)] (H) (1) At least twice each calendar year the administrative assistant
to the zoning board and the administrator of the County Council shall prepare a
summary report compiling all affidavits and disclosures that have been filed.
(2) The summary report shall be a matter of public record and available
for inspection upon written request.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter 291, Acts of 2002, which enacted the Election Law
Article, also added subsection (d) of this section, which is new language
derived without substantive change from former Art. 33, § 13-303(b) and
(c).
In subsection (d) of this section, the former phrase "the treasurer of" a
candidate or "a treasurer of" the candidate's political committee is deleted
for clarity and consistency with the terminology of the Election Law
Article. See, e.g., Title 13, Subtitles 2 and 3, of the Election Law Article.
The Election Law Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by the
General Assembly, that, in subsection (d)(1)(ii) of this section, the reference
to a "slate" is ambiguous, in that it is unclear whether the reference is to a
slate of which the candidate is a member or whether the reference has a
broader application.
The Election Law Article Review Committee also notes, for consideration
by the General Assembly, that, in subsection (d)(2) of this section, the
reference to the candidate's "continuing political committee" also is
ambiguous, in that it is unclear whether the General Assembly intended to
limit the application of this provision to a candidate's continuing political
