(a) A candidate shall designate one (1) candidate committee by filing a statement of organization no later than ten (10) days after accepting or expending in excess of five hundred dollars ($500) or filing a declaration of candidacy, whichever is earlier. Except for a change in information relating to committee officer vacancies, which shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9, Subsection (b) of this chapter, any change in information reported on the statement of organization shall be reported within ten (10) days of such change by filing an amended statement of organization.
(b) A candidate shall not designate more than one (1) candidate committee. The name of the candidate committee shall include the name of the candidate designating the committee.
No committee, other than the designated candidate committee, shall include the name of the candidate, or any words identifying that committee with a candidate, in its name.
(c) Use of the name of one candidate by another candidate with a duplicate name shall not constitute a violation of Subsection (b) of this section.
(d) A candidate shall only be permitted to have one active candidate committee at any time for the same office. If a candidate has an active candidate committee, the candidate shall dissolve such committee prior to or at the time of filing a statement of organization for a new candidate committee for the same office. If the committee which is dissolved has surplus funds or debt, such funds or debt may be transferred to the new candidate committee if such use was indicated on the statement of organization for the dissolved committee.
