"(G) Notwithstanding any other reporting requirements in this chapter, a political party, legislative caucus committee, or a party committee must file a certified campaign report upon the receipt of anything of value. For purposes of this section, 'anything of value' includes contributions received which may be used for the payment of operation expenses of a political party, legislative caucus committee, or a party committee. A political party must also comply with the reporting requirements of subsections (B), (C), and (F) of this section in the same manner as a candidate or committee."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
