The bill, designated as SB166, introduces a new section, Section 17-5-6.1, to the Code of Alabama 1975, which allows political action committees, principal campaign committees, and other entities required to file reports under the Fair Campaign Practices Act to destroy their records after a retention period of four years. The records eligible for destruction include any accounts or documents mandated by the chapter, as well as copies of reports and statements filed and all relevant records associated with them. This legislation aims to streamline the record-keeping process for these entities by reducing the burden of maintaining records beyond the specified timeframe. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill.
