Bill Summary

An act relating to campaign financing; amending s. 106.08, F.S.; providing a limitation on contributions made to political committees sponsoring a constitutional amendment proposed by initiative; specifying conditions upon which the limitation no longer applies; amending s. 106.141, F.S.; prohibiting a candidate from donating surplus funds to a charitable organization that employs the candidate; providing that a candidate may give certain surplus funds to the state or a political subdivision to be disbursed in a specified manner; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends Florida's campaign finance laws in two ways. First, it places a $3,000 limit on contributions made to political committees sponsoring a constitutional amendment proposed by citizen initiative, except once the Secretary of State has issued a certificate of ballot position for the amendment. Second, it prohibits candidates from donating surplus campaign funds to a charitable organization that employs the candidate, but allows them to donate the funds to the state or a political subdivision instead.
