The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current campaign finance statutes by introducing new requirements for third-party complaints. Under the current law, a filing officer is authorized to initiate investigations into alleged campaign finance violations based on complaints from third parties. The bill would add a stipulation that prohibits filing officers from accepting such complaints unless they are submitted by an identifiable human being. This means that any third-party complaint must include evidence of the individual's identity.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that if a complaint is submitted on behalf of an entity, it must be filed by an individual who provides proof of being an identifiable human being. This change aims to ensure that all complaints are traceable to a specific person, thereby enhancing accountability in the campaign finance complaint process.
