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 name, address, telephone number, and email address—of the committee chair. Additionally, 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 retains existing provisions that require written statements of organization for treasurers and financial agents of political committees, while allowing for changes to be made at any time. The new language emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in campaign finance by ensuring that committees provide comprehensive contact information and affirm their commitment to adhere to legal reporting standards.
