and becomes a specific-purpose committee is subject to the requirements
applicable to a specific-purpose committee as of the date it files
its campaign treasurer appointment as a specific-purpose committee.
(b) The campaign treasurer of a general-purpose committee
that changes its operation and becomes a specific-purpose committee
shall deliver written notice of the change in status to the commission.
(c) The notice shall identify the filing authority
with whom future filings by the committee are expected to be made.
(d) The notice required by this section is due not
