(1) For the purpose of meeting the filing and reporting requirements of this article 45:
(I) Candidates for statewide office, the general assembly, district attorney, district court judge, school district director, or any office representing more than one county; the candidate committees for such candidates; political committees in support of or in opposition to such candidates; issue committees in support of or in opposition to an issue on the ballot in more than one county; small donor committees making contributions to such candidates; and persons expending one thousand dollars or more per calendar year on electioneering communications.
(2) (a) Reports required to be filed by this article 45 are timely if received by the appropriate officer not later than the close of business on the due date.
(4) (a) All reports required to be filed by this article 45 are public records and are open to inspection by the public during regular business hours. A copy of the report must be kept by the appropriate officer and a copy shall be made available immediately in a file for public inspection. When the Secretary of State is the appropriate officer, the secretary shall make reports viewable on the Secretary of State’s official website.
(b) Any report that is deemed incomplete by the appropriate officer must be accepted and the committee or party treasurer shall be notified of the deficiency. If an electronic mail address is on file with the secretary of state, the secretary of state may also provide such notification by electronic mail. The committee has thirty calendar days from the date such notice is sent, whether electronically or by United States mail, to file an addendum that cures the deficiencies.
(c) (I) Upon receipt of a complaint brought under section 9 (2)(a) of
article XXVIII of the state constitution alleging a failure to file other
information required to be filed or disclosed pursuant to article XXVIII of
the state constitution or this article 45, the secretary of state shall give notice
to the committee by e-mail, or by regular mail if an e-mail address is not known, of the deficiencies alleged in the complaint. Service of the
notice does not toll or otherwise affect the three-day period during which
the secretary of state is required to refer a complaint to an administrative
law judge pursuant to section 9 (2)(a) of article XXVIII of the state
constitution. Upon receipt of the notice from the secretary of state, the
committee may request from the appropriate officer a postponement of the
hearing brought under section 9 (2)(a) of article XXVIII of the state
constitution and, if such request is timely submitted, has fifteen business
days from the date of the notice to file an addendum to the relevant report
that cures any such deficiencies in the disclosure specified in the notice. The
committee shall also provide the complainant notice of the entity’s intent to
cure and a copy of the addendum on the same day that the addendum is filed
with the secretary of state. Where the committee files an addendum that
cures all deficiencies alleged in the complaint before the expiration of the
fifteen-day period specified in this subsection (4)(c)(I), the appropriate
officer shall not assess a penalty against the committee that otherwise would
have been assessed for the deficiencies for the period from the first date of
the alleged violation through the expiration of the cure period.
