To be entitled to file monthly reports, the committee must deliver written notice of the committee’s intent to file monthly to the commission not earlier than January 1 or later than January 15 of the year in which the committee intends to file monthly. The notice for a committee formed after January 15 must be delivered at the time the committee’s campaign treasurer appointment is filed.

(c)

A committee that files monthly reports may revert to the regular filing schedule prescribed by Sections 254.153 (Semiannual Reporting Schedule for Committee) and 254.154 (Additional Reports of Committee Involved in Election) by delivering written notice of the committee’s intent not earlier than January 1 or later than January 15 of the year in which the committee intends to revert to the regular reporting schedule. The notice must include a report of all political contributions accepted and all political expenditures made that were not previously reported.
