SUMMARY
This amendment restores the requirement for a participating candidate for the Legislature who has filed a "trigger report" to file an accelerated report 42 days before a primary election. This requirement is only for the primary election. As in the bill, an accelerated report is not required 42 days before the general election. The amendment would also clarify that the voters of this State may make $5 qualifying contributions over the Internet according to the procedures established by the Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices.
