Disclosing and Filing Transactions
Reporting Deadlines: Transaction Reporting - Recall Petition Committees

Following the day after a prospective recall petition is filed, a transaction is due within seven calendar days of its occurrence beginning on the date after a completed prospective recall petition is filed with the filing officer, and ending on the deadline for submitting signatures for verification.

Beginning on the day after the deadline for submitting signatures, a transaction is due not later than the 30th calendar day after its occurrence. All transactions must be filed electronically and are due no later than 11:59pm on the deadline for filing the transaction.

A petition committee that has a cash balance or deficit at the time of filing an original statement of organization for a petition committee must start with a zero balance and file all transactions that make up the cash balance or deficit. This includes any accounts receivable and accounts payable that are still outstanding at the time the statement of organization is filed. The deadline for filing these transactions is based on the date the completed prospective recall petition is filed even if the Statement of Organization for Petition Committee form (SEL 222) is filed after the date the completed prospective recall petition is filed.

If the filing officer determines that a sufficient number of signatures have been submitted and a recall election is scheduled, and the petition committee intends to be active at the election, a recall political committee must be formed by completing and filing a Statement of Organization for Political Action Committee form (SEL 221) and Campaign Account Information form (SEL 223). If a recall political committee is formed to support the recall, a transaction is due not later than the 7th calendar day after its occurrence through the date of the election.
