House Bill 350 amends provisions of the Election Code relating to telegram reports on political campaign contributions and expenditures made by certain candidates and committees within nine days of an election. The bill redesignates these reports as special reports, requires that such a report be received by, rather than filed with, the Texas Ethics Commission within the specified period of time, and exempts the report from requirements that it be accompanied by an affidavit and submitted on a prescribed form. A report filed with an authority other than the commission must be accompanied by the required affidavit unless the filer previously submitted an affidavit with another report in connection with the same election. The bill adds electronic filing as a method of delivery for special reports submitted by certain general-purpose committees.
