Provides that for a multi-candidate political committee organized to support multiple candidates for a single office, "election cycle" means the period that would apply to the candidates if they had formed individual candidate political committees. Provides that for a multi-candidate political committee organized to support candidates for different offices, "election cycle" means the period that is the longest of all the periods that would apply to the candidates supported by the committee if they had formed individual candidate political committees. Prohibits a public official or candidate for public office from maintaining or establishing more than one multi-candidate political committee for each office that public official or candidate holds or is seeking. Provides that the name of each multi-candidate political committee shall identify the names of all public officials or candidates supported by the multi-candidate political committee. Prohibits a public official or candidate for public office that maintains a candidate political committee from maintaining or establishing a multi-candidate committee to support his or her candidacy for the same office.
