Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 10.

This bill revises present law provisions governing sworn complaints on statements of candidates. Present law authorizes a registered voter to file a sworn complaint alleging that a financial disclosure statement filed regarding an election for which that voter was qualified to vote does not conform to law or to the truth or that a person has failed to file a statement required by law. Under present law: (1) All sworn complaints on a statement of a candidate for state public office or a political campaign committee for such candidate must be filed in the office of the registry of election finance; and (2) All sworn complaints on a statement of a candidate for local public office or a political campaign committee for such candidate must be filed in the office of the district attorney general who represents the judicial district in which the voter resides. This bill extends the applicability of item (2) above for filing with the district attorney general to complaints on a statement of a local multicandidate political campaign committee. ON APRIL 4, 2022, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED SENATE BILL 2302, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #1 rewrites this bill and the provisions of present law described in (1) and (2) of the Bill Summary to instead require that: (1) All sworn complaints on a statement of a candidate for state public office or a statewide political campaign committee must be filed in the office of the registry of election finance; and (2) All sworn complaints on a statement of a candidate for local public office or a local political campaign committee must be filed in the office of the district attorney general who represents the judicial district in which the voter resides.
