HI SB403

Clarifies that candidates do not need to file preliminary reports for the general election (October 1 and ten days before general election) if they are unsuccessful in the primary election and do not intend to remain politically active after that primary, or if they are elected to office in the primary election.

Modifies the threshold for candidate and noncandidate committees to notify the campaign spending commission that they will not exceed aggregate contribution and expenditure limits, leaving the specific dollar amount blank for later determination.

Changes the language in Section 11-339 from "or" to "and" when describing contributions and expenditures, clarifying that committees must not intend to receive contributions AND make expenditures exceeding the threshold.

Provides that noncandidate committees must notify the commission of their intent by the fifth calendar day before the preliminary primary report due date, specifically identified as ten days before the election.

Updates statutory language by replacing "prior to" with "before" regarding the deadline for candidates elected in a primary to file their final election period report.
