Description

The Fair Campaign Practices Act requires political action committees, principal campaign committees, and in certain circumstances municipal candidates to file periodic reports and statements of campaign activity, including details relating to contributions, expenditures, bank accounts, and loans.

Prosecutions for violations of the act must be brought within two years from the date of the violation, except prosecutions for violating the law governing how excess campaign contributions may be spent must be brought within four years from the date of the violation.

This bill would require any committee or other person required to file a report or statement under the act to preserve all records for a period of four years after the filing date of the report or statement to which the record relates.
