| This legislation requires candidates for county office to file a declaration of intent to accept campaign contributions with the county elections superintendent instead of the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission. The election superintendent is required to transmit the documents electronically by eFiling or eFaxing a copy of the report to the Georgia Campaign Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission no later than 10 days after the close of the reporting period. This legislation also changes the exemption for filing campaign finance disclosure reports from those who intend to accept less than $2,500 each calendar year to those who intend to accept less than $2,500 each election cycle.
