HI HB1427

Clarifies that candidates unsuccessful in a primary, initial special, or initial nonpartisan election are not required to file preliminary reports for the general election (October 1 or ten days before general election)

Clarifies that candidates elected in a primary, initial special, or initial nonpartisan election are not required to file preliminary reports for the general election

Changes language in Section 11-339 from "or" to "and" to clarify that candidate committees and noncandidate committees must aggregate both contributions AND expenditures when determining if they need to file reports (threshold is $1,000 in an election period)

Specifies that noncandidate committees have until five calendar days before the preliminary primary report due ten days before the election to notify the commission if they do not intend to exceed $1,000 in contributions and expenditures

Changes "prior to" to "before" for consistency in language regarding when elected candidates must file final election period reports
