The electronic reporting system shall:

(1) enable a person to register and file reports online by electronically submitting the relevant data to the secretary of state's website;

(2) for the submission of data, use unique identifiers and master drop-down lists of candidates, political committees, lobbyists and, to the extent reasonably possible, master lists of contributors, occupations, expenditure types and contribution types;

(3) provide the data in open, structured formats for easy search and download to allow for public inspection of all report data from the secretary of state's website;

(4) provide for cross-checking and compliance features;

(5) provide for online registration and fee payment for political committees and lobbyists;

(6) integrate, to the extent possible, with the reporting required by the Lobbyist Regulation Act;

(7) to the extent possible, provide for a mechanism to directly upload the required data from other third-party tools; and

(8) provide for encrypted transmissions.

C. Registration fees collected by the secretary of state from lobbyists and political committees shall be deposited in the “campaign reporting system fund”, which is hereby created in the state treasury. Money in the fund is appropriated to the secretary of state for the purposes of paying for upgrades, maintenance and operation of the electronic reporting system. Money remaining in the fund at the end of a fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund.
