Bill > HB739

This bill, called the Ohio Anti-Corruption Act, proposes to modify Ohio's campaign finance laws in several ways: It amends sections of the Revised Code related to political contributions, expenditures, and reporting requirements for campaign committees, political action committees, political contributing entities, legislative campaign funds, and political parties. Key changes include: - Defining "political contributing entity" and requiring additional disclosures for these entities, including the names of officers, directors, and controlling shareholders/members. - Modifying contribution limits for individuals, political action committees, political contributing entities, and other entities. - Requiring campaign committees of statewide candidates to file additional monthly and two-business-day reports of large contributions. - Making various other changes to campaign finance reporting requirements and procedures. The bill also repeals and re-enacts the current versions of several campaign finance law sections that were previously modified, to harmonize the changes made by this bill with prior legislative actions. Overall, the bill aims to enhance campaign finance disclosure and regulate the role of money in Ohio elections and politics.
