A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN LAWS TO LIMIT THE EXEMPTION FROM REPORTING THE NAMES OF SMALL CONTRIBUTORS SO THAT IT APPLIES ONLY TO CONTRIBUTORS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 163-278.8(d) reads as rewritten:
"(d)	A treasurer shall not be required to report the name of any individual who is a resident of this State who makes a total contribution of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or less but he shall instead report the fact that he has received a total contribution of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or less, the amount of the contribution, and the date of receipt. If a treasurer receives contributions of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or less, each at a single event, he may account for and report the total amount received at that event, the date and place of the event, the nature of the event, and the approximate number of people at the event. With respect to the proceeds of sale of services, campaign literature and materials, wearing apparel, tickets or admission prices to campaign events such as rallies or dinners, and the proceeds of sale of any campaign-related services or goods, if the price or value received for any single service or goods exceeds one hundred dollars ($100.00), the treasurer shall account for and report the name of the individual paying for such services or goods, the amount received, and the date of receipt, but if the price or value received for any single service or item of goods does not exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), the treasurer may report only those services or goods rendered or sold at a value that does not exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), the nature of the services or goods, the amount received in the aggregate for the services or goods, and the date of the receipt."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective January 1, 1995, and applies to the reporting of all contributions accepted on or after that date. This act applies to all reports filed on or after January 1, 1995, but only to the extent that they describe contributions accepted on or after January 1, 1995.
