This bill amends section 3-8-4 of the Code of West Virginia to enhance the requirements for political committees regarding their statements of organization. It mandates that the statement must now include the contact information—specifically the name, address, telephone number, and email address—of the committee chair. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for an acknowledgment that the political committee will comply with the campaign finance reporting requirements set forth in West Virginia law.

The changes also involve the deletion of a previous requirement regarding the types of information that must be included in the statement of organization. The updated statement will now require the committee to specify whether it will participate in statewide or local elections, alongside the new acknowledgment of adherence to reporting requirements. These amendments aim to improve transparency and accountability within political committees operating in West Virginia.
