HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives is advancing legislation to require candidates for a state office to file their campaign finance reports electronically. The bill passed Tuesday, 102-101, on party lines, with Democrats voting for it. The bill goes to the state Senate, which is considering its own version of similar legislation. Sponsors say that many candidates and PACs already file reports electronically, and paper filing is costly and inefficient.
