Mini campaign reportingEligibility.

(1) A candidate or candidate's authorized committee, as those terms are defined in the act and these rules, is not required to comply with the provisions of RCW 42.17A.225 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed in WAC 390-16-038, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125, if the committee selects the mini reporting option on its registration and meets both of the following conditions:
(a) Neither aggregate contributions nor aggregate expenditures exceed the amount of the candidate's filing fee provided by law plus a sum not to exceed $7,000; and
(b) No contribution or contributions from any person other than the candidate exceed $500 in the aggregate. However, a bona fide political party may pay the candidate's filing fee provided by law without that payment disqualifying that candidate from eligibility under this section.

(a) Neither aggregate contributions nor aggregate expenditures exceed $7,000; and
(b) No contribution or contributions from any person exceed $500 in the aggregate.
(3) A continuing political committee, as that term is defined in the act and these rules, is not required to comply with the provisions of RCW 42.17A.225 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed in WAC 390-16-038, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125, if the committee selects the mini reporting option on its registration and meets both of the following conditions:
(a) Neither aggregate contributions nor aggregate expenditures during a calendar year exceed $7,000; and
(b) No contribution or contributions from any person exceed $500 in the aggregate.
(4) A candidate or political committee that exceeds one or both of the thresholds set out in either subsection (1), (2), or (3) of this section after registering as a mini reporting campaign will no longer qualify for the mini reporting option and must comply with the provisions of chapter 42.17A RCW including, but not limited to, disclosure of contributions and expenditures, disclosure of last minute contributions, applicable contribution limits, false political advertising, sponsor identification, and public inspection of campaign books of account.
(5) Candidates and political committees eligible for mini campaign reporting are required to comply with all applicable provisions of chapter 42.17A RCW including, but not limited to, false political advertising, sponsor identification, and public inspection of campaign books of account unless specifically exempted under subsections (1) through (3) of this section.
