A. Subject to the exception in Section 2.12.255(B), every committee under Section 2.12.095 of this chapter shall file with the City Clerk a statement of organization, as defined in Government Code Section 84101et. seq. , or its successors, within ten days after qualifying as a committee pursuant to Section 2.12.095.

B. Every committee that qualifies during the period between the closing date of the last pre-election statement and the election shall file with the City Clerk, by hand delivery or by such means as the commission may prescribe, a statement of organization no later than the close of the next business day.

C. The date on which a committee qualified, and not the date on which the committee filed its statement of organization, shall determine the committee’s obligation to file the campaign statements and late contribution reports required by this chapter. All committees, whether qualified before or after the date of the final pre-election statement, but before the date of an election, are subject to late contribution reporting requirements.
