A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO EXTEND THE REPORTING PROVISIONS OF THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAW TO ELECTIONS IN ALL COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 163-278.6(18) reads as rewritten:
"(18)	The term 'public office' means any office filled by election by the people on a statewide, county, municipal or district basis, and this Article shall be applicable to such elective offices whether the election therefor is partisan or nonpartisan."
Sec. 2.  G.S. 163-278.40 reads as rewritten:
"§ 163-278.40. Definitions.
When used in this Part, words and phrases have the same meaning as in G.S. 163-278.6, except that:
(1)	The term 'board' means the county board of elections;
(2)	The term 'city' means any incorporated city, town, or village."
Sec. 3.  In any case where this act extends the reporting or filing requirement of Article 22A of Chapter 163 of the General Statutes to any candidate, political committee, or treasurer not previously covered, any future report or filing concerning any election in 1991 or 1992 shall account for any money on hand on the date of ratification of this act in accordance with rules to be adopted by the State Board of Elections.
Sec. 4.  This act is effective upon ratification.
