Bill > SB00883

This bill aims to implement the Governor's budget recommendations, including the following key provisions: 1. It defines "child care services" as services necessary for a candidate's campaign activities, and allows qualified candidate committees to use public campaign funds for these expenses, provided the expenditures do not exceed the amount of qualifying contributions. 2. It exempts expenditures for child care services made directly from a candidate's personal funds from counting toward the personal funds contribution limits for participating in the Citizens' Election Program. 3. It expands the list of permissible campaign expenditures to include compensation for child care services, with the requirement that such compensation be reasonable and customary. 4. It requires the Commissioner of Administrative Services to create a system for individuals to electronically submit their names for consideration as public members on state boards and commissions. 5. It sets a goal for the membership of state appointive boards and commissions to reflect the gender and racial diversity of the state's population by 2026, and requires regular reporting on the composition of these bodies.
