19:44A-10.1. Establishment of legislative leadership committee
16. a. The President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the General Assembly and the Minority Leader of the General Assembly may each establish, authorize the establishment of, or designate one legislative leadership committee for the purpose of receiving contributions and making expenditures to aid or promote the candidacy of any individual, or the candidacy of individuals, for elective office in any election or the passage or defeat of a public question or public questions in any election. The President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the General Assembly and the Minority Leader of the General Assembly, or the person authorized to establish a legislative leadership committee therefor, shall appoint such members and adopt such bylaws for the maintenance of the committee as is deemed appropriate. In the event that the State committee of a political party is designated hereunder to serve as a legislative leadership committee, any receipts and expenditures of that State committee which relate to its activity as a legislative leadership committee shall be accounted for separately from receipts and expenditures relating to the State committee's other activities, and all activity by that State committee in its capacity as a legislative leadership committee shall, for all purposes of this act, be considered as having been conducted as the activities of a separate legislative leadership committee.
b. Within 30 days after such a committee is established, the Election Law Enforcement Commission shall be informed, in writing, of the names and addresses of the chairperson, vice-chairperson, and all other members of the committee. The commission shall be similarly informed of any change in the membership of the committee within three days of the occurrence of the change.
