HI SB446

Amends HRS §11-339 to allow candidate committees and noncandidate committees with aggregate contributions and expenditures of $1,000 or less to file only a final election period report instead of preliminary and final primary reports, preliminary and final general reports, or special election reports.

Requires candidates to notify the Campaign Spending Commission by June 30 of an election year if they do not intend to receive or spend more than $1,000 during the election period by checking a box in their organizational report.

Requires noncandidate committees to notify the Commission by the fifth calendar day prior to the preliminary primary report due date if they do not intend to receive or spend more than $1,000 during the election period by checking a box in their organizational report.

Maintains requirement that candidate and noncandidate committees continue filing supplemental reports and other required reports under HRS §11-326 until their registration is terminated.

Takes effect upon approval.
