Bill > SB224

This bill generally revises campaign finance laws in Montana. The key provisions are: 1.

It prohibits the Commissioner of Political Practices from requesting additional information beyond what is specified in disclosure reports. 3. It provides that hosting a fundraising event on one's own property does not constitute a contribution. 4. It revises reporting deadlines and requirements, including allowing certain legislative candidates to use the same account for primary and general election funds if they maintain proper records. 5. It increases the aggregate contribution limits by a political committee, political party committee, and an individual to a candidate. 6. It directs the amendment of administrative rules regarding the reporting of campaign expenditures. 7. It repeals provisions related to the naming and labeling of political committees and aggregate contribution limits received by certain candidates.
