Such reports may be by any written means of communication, and do not require an original signature. A late contribution need not be reported nor shall it be deemed accepted if it is not cashed, negotiated, or deposited and is returned to the contributor within twenty-four (24) hours of its receipt. A report filed pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any other campaign statements required to be filed by state law.

(b)

Late independent expenditures, as defined by Government Code Section 82036.5, shall be reported in accordance with requirements of Government Code Section 84204.

The report shall contain the information required by paragraphs no. (1) through no. (5) of subdivision (k) of Government Code Section 84211. Reports filed pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any other campaign statement required to be filed by state law.
