Overview

RULE:

1S-2.021

Cancellation of Registration of Political Committees and Electioneering Communications Organizations

PURPOSE:

The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the rule to reflect additional ways in which political committees may be dissolved and have their registrations canceled. The proposed rule also amends a current basis for revocation (failing to file campaign treasurers’ report) by reducing the time for failure to file from more than 12 months to more than 6 months. The amendments also modify the notification and appeal procedures involving the revocations of political committees’ registrations.

SUMMARY:

The rule provides the conditions under which a political committee’s registration can be revoked. It further provides the procedures for notifying the political committee of the intended revocation action and how the committee may appeal the decision to revoke its registration.
