Summary

The bill amends the Political Reform Act to limit the maximum late‑filing penalty to $100 for statements of economic interest and to the greater of $100 or the total amounts reported for other statements. It also removes the $10‑per‑day charge for filing a late copy of any report and treats candidate statements the same as other filings. The changes apply to anyone required to file original statements or reports under the act.
