§ 30.14. Disclosure of employers of contributors.

A.

Campaign committees, political action committees, political contributing entities and political parties that make or receive a contribution or expenditure in support of or opposition to a municipal candidate or municipal ballot issue shall include on the statements required to be filed under § 3517.10 of the Ohio Revised Code, a copy of which shall be filed with the Clerk of Council by 4:00 p.m. on the date it is required to be filed under § 3517.10, the name of the employer of each contributor of fifty dollars or more to the committee, entity or party that is required to be itemized on such statements. The name of a contributor's employer is not required by this subsection for contributions to the committee, entity or party which are not used to make contributions or expenditures for municipal candidates or municipal ballot issues and are not commingled with contributions that are used for such purpose. If a contributor is self-employed, this fact and the individual's occupation shall be included on the statements. If a contributor is not employed, this fact shall be noted by use of the phrase "not applicable."

B.

The candidate for any municipal office shall identify all persons who contribute fifty dollars or more by primary employer. If this information is not on file with the Summit County Board of Elections, the contribution shall be returned to the contributor within thirty days after the filing of the candidate's financial report.
