AI Summary
This bill alters the requirements for out-of-state political committees to register and report their political disbursements in Maryland. It lowers the registration threshold from $6,000 to $5,000 in cumulative disbursements, requires a $500 registration fee, and expands the definition of "political disbursements" to include various types of campaign-related expenditures. The bill also imposes late filing fees for failure to submit required reports, with the fees being distributed to the Fair Campaign Financing Fund, and allows the State Board to prevent an out-of-state committee from participating in elections if it fails to file multiple reports. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2019.
