If there are more than two persons other than the treasurer authorized to obtain the bank records, the committee need only list two persons. For committees existing prior to January 1, 2024, the Statement of Organization shall be amended to include the names of those authorized to obtain the bank records by July 1, 2024, or the next time the committee files an amended Statement of Organization, whichever is earlier.

The Attorney General's identification number and the title of a proposed measure shall no longer be required on a committee's statement of organization after any of the following: the measure has failed to qualify for the ballot, the measure number has been added to the committee's name, or the election in which a measure qualified for the ballot has been held.

(c) Notwithstanding the above provisions, if the statement of organization filed is an amendment or termination and the information contained on the previous statements of organization filed by the committee is correct, the amended statement need only include the committee name, identification number, and verification along with the amendment, if an amended statement, or the termination date, if a termination statement.
