A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to an exemption from the requirement that a legislative |
|
|
caucus file reports of contributions and expenditures if no |
|
|
reportable activity occurs. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Sections 254.0311(c) and (d), Election Code, are |
|
|
amended to read as follows: |
|
|
(c) If no reportable activity occurs during a reporting |
|
|
period, the legislative caucus is not required to file a report for |
|
|
that period [shall indicate that fact in the report]. |
|
|
(d) Except as provided by Subsection (c), a [A] legislative |
|
|
caucus shall file with the commission two reports for each year. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to |
|
|
a report of contributions to and expenditures by a legislative |
|
|
caucus that is required to be filed on or after the effective date |
|
|
of this Act. A report that is required to be filed before that date |
|
|
is governed by the law in effect when the report was filed, and the |
|
|
former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015. |
