Late signature curing expenditure reports.

Summary

The bill creates a new category called “late signature curing expenditure” and requires any committee that spends money on ballot‑signature verification after an election but before the results are certified to file a report within 24 hours. The report must list the committee’s name and address, the candidate or measure involved, the amount, date and a description of the goods or services purchased, and can be submitted online, by email, fax, guaranteed overnight delivery, or in person. The goal is to make this type of spending visible to the public and election officials.
