This bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 3-8-4, 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 address, telephone number, and email address—of the committee chair, in addition to the existing requirements for the treasurer's information. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new requirement for political committees to acknowledge their compliance with campaign finance reporting requirements within their statement of organization.

The bill also removes the previous requirement for a specific designation related to the type of political committee, streamlining the process for committees to file their statements. Overall, the changes aim to improve transparency and accountability in campaign finance by ensuring that essential contact information is readily available and that committees are aware of their legal obligations regarding financial reporting.
