STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27385C1 / S1233
This proposed legislation will revise provisions within the existing Sunshine Law by expanding those who may
file a campaign finance report. This is necessary to ensure that the candidate or political committee always has
access to file a timely report should their respective treasurer be unavailable.
This proposed legislation includes an emergency clause, as candidates and political committees are currently
subject to mandatory fines for failure to file a required report in a timely manner under statute that took effect
on January 1, 2020.
FISCAL NOTE
There is anticipated to be no increase or reduction in revenue to the general fund annually as a result of this
legislation. Any minimal costs incurred for implementation of this legislation will be covered within the existing
scope of the IDSOS annual budget.
