The act specifies that candidate committees may purchase tickets, membership dues, meals, advertising, and other similar items from a political action committee and elected officials are allowed to incur expenses from a political action committee if they are related to education or service in office.

Under current law, committee agents are required to deliver detailed accounts of certain transactions within five days of a request of that committee's treasurer, deputy treasurer or candidate. This act requires the agent to deliver the information to those individuals within 30 days of the transaction.

Currently, certain agents are allowed to receive contributions on account of a committee but shall not keep the contributions in an account for more than five days. This act allows the agent to keep the contributions in the account for thirty days.
