Political committees would have to file special reports whenever they receive large donations of $1,000 or more within three weeks before an election, making these last-minute contributions more transparent to the public. The requirement would apply to any committee that then uses money to support or oppose candidates or political parties in that election. This aims to give voters better visibility into who is funding campaign activities right before they cast their ballots.
