1 1 Section 1. Section 56.6, subsection 1, paragraph c, Code
1 2 2001, is amended by striking the paragraph and inserting in
1 3 lieu thereof the following:
1 4 c. Reports shall be filed in a special election according
1 5 to the following:
1 6 (1) A candidate's committee for a candidate for the
1 7 general assembly shall file a report by the fourteenth day
1 8 prior to the special election that is current through the
1 9 nineteenth day prior to the special election. The committee
1 10 shall also file a supplemental report if it meets the criteria
1 11 under subsection 1, paragraph "b".
1 12 (2) A candidate's committee for a candidate for county
1 13 elective office shall file a report by the Friday immediately
1 14 preceding the special election that is current through the
1 15 Tuesday prior to the special election.
1 16 EXPLANATION
1 17 This bill amends Code section 56.6, pertaining to
1 18 disclosure reports filed by candidates' committees. The bill
1 19 focuses on reports filed in special elections.
1 20 The current paragraph "c" of subsection 1 of that Code
1 21 section requires only that a general assembly candidate in a
1 22 special election file a disclosure report 14 days prior to the
1 23 election that is current through the nineteenth day prior to
1 24 the election. The bill retains that requirement, while also
1 25 specifying that such a candidate must also file a supplemental
1 26 report if the candidate receives $1,000 or more, including the
1 27 fair market value of in-kind contributions, after filing the
1 28 disclosure report.
1 29 The bill also adds a requirement for a disclosure report in
1 30 special elections for county offices. These reports must be
1 31 filed by the Friday before the special election, and the
1 32 report must be current through the Tuesday prior to the
1 33 special election.
1 34 A person who violates either of these provisions is subject
1 35 to the serious misdemeanor penalty provided in Code section
2 1 56.16 for willful violation of any provision of the chapter.
2 2 A serious misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more
2 3 than one year and a fine of at least $250 but not more than
2 4 $1,500.
