liquidation and application of assets.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, any

political committee which has been terminated within three years

prior to the effective date of the reenactment of this section

during the regular session of the Legislature in the year two

thousand two, pursuant to a written request made in accordance with the provisions of section four of this article, may file a written

request and be authorized by the secretary of state to reestablish

the political committee. Any request to reestablish a political

committee pursuant to the provisions of this subsection must be
