FEC Updates Functionality of Form 99: Miscellaneous Report to the FEC

On March 6, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) announced in its press release digest it recently updated its electronic form for the submission of miscellaneous items by registered committees. The form, Form 99: Miscellaneous Report to the FEC, is now implemented with new functionality for the electronic filing of uncategorized items, such as letters and similar matters. Committees may upload PDF documents as part of their submissions. According to the FEC, the update form will allow committees to file Schedule C-1s (Loans and Lines of Credit from Lending Institutions), copies of loan agreements, loan forgiveness statements, and Form 8s (Debt Settlement Plans), electronically as attachments with electronic signatures, including required third-party signatures. Before the implementation of this new functionality, filers could be required to file documents with third-party signatures on paper.
