Bill > SB298

This bill: 1. Includes candidates for the offices of state senator and state representative in the Voter Action Act, which previously only applied to certain judicial offices and the office of public regulation commissioner. 2. Prescribes campaign contribution limits from sources other than qualified electors for certified candidates, allowing them to accept up to $100 from any source, but limiting those contributions to no more than 50% of the public financing they receive. 3. Establishes distribution amounts for major party, minor party, and unaffiliated candidates running for state senator and state representative offices under the public financing program, with major party candidates receiving a higher amount than minor party and unaffiliated candidates. 4. Removes references to the public regulation commissioner as an elected office in the Voter Action Act and repeals related session laws with delayed effective dates.
