Bill > S434

This bill aims to restore financial transparency in presidential elections by requiring presidential and vice-presidential candidates to submit their federal income tax returns and financial interest statements to the state secretary. The bill amends existing laws to mandate that candidates' tax returns from the past 3-5 years, as well as their financial interest statements, be published on the state secretary's website before the presidential primary and general election. Candidates who decline to submit this information would be barred from appearing on the ballot. The provisions of the bill are deemed severable, meaning that if any part is deemed unconstitutional, the rest of the bill would still remain valid.
