If the secretary of state develops an internet disclosure system, the secretary of state shall not charge a county clerk for the software for that system. (2) A county clerk who adopts a system under subsection (1) may require each committee that received or expended the threshold amount set by the county clerk as provided in this subsection in the preceding calendar year or expects to receive or expend the threshold amount set by the county clerk in the current calendar year to file campaign statements or reports electronically.
