State Ethics Commission; shall not accept or reject complaints made against candidates 60 days prior to an election; provide

SB 199 prevents Georgia's State Ethics Commission from accepting or rejecting complaints against election candidates during the final 60 days before an election. It requires all campaign finance reports for local officials to be filed directly with the commission (instead of local offices), standardizes reporting deadlines across all election levels, and prohibits the commission from publicly releasing home addresses of officials. The bill also updates lobbyist reporting schedules to be more uniform and revises requirements for political action committees. These changes streamline transparency processes while limiting last-minute campaign finance disputes.
