52 U.S.C. § 30103 — Registration of political committees

(a) Statements of organization. Every authorized campaign committee must file a statement of organization no later than 10 days after the candidate designates it under section 30102(e)(1). Every separate segregated fund set up under section 30118(b) must file no later than 10 days after it's established. Every other political committee must file within 10 days after it becomes a "political committee" as defined in section 30101(4). (b) Contents of statements. A committee's statement of organization must include— (1) the committee's name, address, and type; (2) the name, address, relationship, and type of any connected organization or affiliated committee; (3) the name, address, and job title of whoever keeps the committee's books and accounts; (4) the treasurer's name and address; (5) if a candidate authorized the committee, that candidate's name, address, the office they're seeking, and their party; and (6) a list of every bank, safe deposit box, or other place the committee keeps its money. (c) Change of information. Any change to information already given in a statement of organization must be reported, following section 30102(g), no later than 10 days after the change happens. (d) Termination. (1) A political committee can only shut down by filing a written statement, following section 30102(g), saying it will stop taking contributions and making payments, and that it has no debts or obligations left. (2) This does not limit the Commission's power to set up procedures for— (A) deciding when a political committee is insolvent; (B) orderly winding-down of an insolvent committee and using its assets to pay down debt; and (C) formally ending an insolvent committee once that winding-down is finished.
