Bill Summary
Campaign Finance Reform
AI Summary
This bill proposes several key changes to campaign finance regulations in West Virginia:
1. It requires all candidates and political committees to publicly disclose the names of their donors through quarterly financial reporting. Elected members of the state legislature must also file a list of their donors with the clerk of the Senate or House of Delegates, which will be made publicly accessible online.
2. It mandates that candidates file copies of their personal income tax returns for the three years prior to the primary or general election in which they are running.
3. It places a $3,000 limit on the amount that a candidate, their spouse, or a lending institution can lend to the candidate's campaign per race. Loans from other sources are limited to the existing contribution limits.
The goal of these provisions is to increase transparency and accountability in campaign financing at the state and local levels in West Virginia.
