  Section 1. The election law is amended by adding a new section  14-105

  § 14-105. ELIMINATION OF DUPLICATE ELECTRONIC FILING. 1. ANY CANDIDATE
OR  AUTHORIZED POLITICAL COMMITTEE OF A CANDIDATE REQUIRED TO FILE ELEC-
TRONICALLY WITH THE STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS SHALL  BE  DEEMED  TO  HAVE
SATISFIED SUCH FILING REQUIREMENTS UPON MAKING ELECTRONIC FILINGS WITH A
LOCAL  CAMPAIGN  FINANCE  BOARD,  PROVIDED  THE STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS
DETERMINES: (I) THE FILING FORMAT, STANDARDS AND  REVIEW  AND  AUDIT  OF
FILINGS  OF  SUCH CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD MEET OR EXCEED THE REQUIREMENTS
IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE; AND (II) THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE  FILING  DATA  OF
SUCH  LOCAL  CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN A MANNER AT
LEAST SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS PUBLICATION  OF

WILL PROVIDE THE  CHIEF  ENFORCEMENT  COUNSEL  OF  THE  STATE  BOARD  OF
ELECTIONS NOTICE OF FILING DELINQUENCIES AND NON-FILINGS.
  2.  IF  THE  STATE  BOARD  OF  ELECTIONS  PERMITS FILINGS WITH A LOCAL
CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD TO BE DEEMED FILINGS  WITH  THE  STATE  BOARD  OF
ELECTIONS,  SUCH BOARD SHALL PROVIDE A LINK ON ITS WEBSITE TO THE PUBLIC
DISCLOSURE AND SEARCH FUNCTIONS OF THE WEBSITE OF  SUCH  LOCAL  CAMPAIGN
FINANCE BOARD.
  3.  A  DETERMINATION  PERMITTING FILINGS WITH A LOCAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE
BOARD TO BE DEEMED FILINGS WITH THE STATE BOARD OF  ELECTIONS  SHALL  BE
REVOKED  UPON  A  DETERMINATION THAT THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD NO
LONGER COMPLIES WITH ANY OF THE CRITERIA ENUMERATED IN  PARAGRAPHS  (I),
(II) AND (III) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION.
  §  2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeed-
ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
