  • Registration must include the entity's name and address, plus the name, title, email address and telephone number of the person authorizing the contribution.

  • Each contribution notification must include the contributing entity's name and address, contribution amount, recipient organization, candidate name and race, support or opposition designation, and contribution date.

  • Requires a notarized sworn statement within five days confirming the person filing had authority to make the contribution; notifications are marked as "unverified" and "delinquent" if the statement is not received timely.

  • Establishes civil penalties of up to three times the total contribution amount for failures to register or notify, and classifies knowingly false filings as class 1 misdemeanors.
