- (a) A county executive committee described by subsection (b) of this section is subject to the requirements of Subchapter F of this chapter (relating to Reporting Requirements for a General-Purpose Committee), except where those rules conflict with this subchapter. In the case of conflict, this subchapter prevails over Subchapter F of this chapter.
(b) A county executive committee that accepts political contributions or that makes political expenditures that, in the aggregate, exceed $5,000 in a calendar year shall file:
- (1) a campaign treasurer appointment with the commission no later than the 15th day after the date that amount is exceeded; and
- (2) the reports required by Subchapter F of this chapter (relating to Reporting Requirements for a General-Purpose Committee). The first report filed must include all political contributions accepted and all political expenditures made before the county executive committee filed its campaign treasurer appointment.
- (c) Contributions accepted from corporations and labor organizations under §24.19 of this title (relating to Contributions to a Political Party) and reported under Subchapter H of this chapter (relating to Accepting and Reporting Contributions from Corporations and Labor Organizations) do not count against the $5,000 thresholds described in subsection (b) of this section.
- (d) A county executive committee that filed a campaign treasurer appointment and reports of contributions and expenditures may file the report due by January 15 as its final report. Filing such a report will notify the filing authority that the county executive committee does not intend to file reports in the next calendar year unless it exceeds one of the $5,000 thresholds.
