Amend Amendment No. 1 by Wolens to CSHB 1606 in Article 2 of 
the bill by inserting the following new SECTION, appropriately 
numbered, and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of Article 2 
appropriately:
	SECTION 2._____.  Chapter 252, Election Code, is amended by 
adding Section 252.0011 to read as follows:
	Sec. 252.0011.  INELIGIBILITY FOR APPOINTMENT AS CAMPAIGN 
TREASURER.  (a)  Except as provided by Subsection (b) or (c), a 
person is ineligible for appointment as a campaign treasurer if the 
person is the campaign treasurer of a political committee that does 
not file a report required by Chapter 254.
	(b)  The period for which a person is ineligible under 
Subsection (a) for appointment as a campaign treasurer ends on the 
date on which the political committee in connection with which the 
person's ineligibility arose has filed each report required by 
Chapter 254 that was not timely filed, or has paid all fines and 
penalties in connection with the failure to file the report.
	(c)  Subsection (a) does not apply to a person if, in any 
semi-annual reporting period prescribed by Chapter 254:
		(1)  the political committee in connection with which 
the person's ineligibility arose did not accept political 
contributions that in the aggregate exceed $5,000 or make political 
expenditures that in the aggregate exceed $5,000; and
		(2)  the candidate who or political committee that 
subsequently appoints the person does not accept political 
contributions that in the aggregate exceed $5,000 or make political 
expenditures that in the aggregate exceed $5,000.
	(d)  Subsection (c) applies to a person who is the campaign 
treasurer of a general-purpose committee regardless of whether the 
committee files monthly reports under Section 254.155.  For 
purposes of this subsection, political contributions accepted and 
political expenditures made during a monthly reporting period are 
aggregated with political contributions accepted and political 
expenditures made in each other monthly reporting period that 
corresponds to the semi-annual reporting period that contains those 
months.
	(e)  A candidate or political committee is considered to have 
not appointed a campaign treasurer if the candidate or committee 
appoints a person as campaign treasurer whose appointment is 
prohibited by Subsection (a).
	(f)  A person who violates this section is liable for a civil 
penalty not to exceed three times the amount of political 
contributions accepted or political expenditures made in violation 
of this section.
