Bill > LD1754

This bill amends the law requiring contributors giving more than $100,000 to a political action committee or ballot question committee for the purpose of influencing a ballot question to file a statement with the Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices. It exempts political action committees and ballot question committees already registered with the commission from filing the major contributor report, permits a major contributor to request a modification of the requirement to disclose its 5 largest sources of income, and clarifies the enforcement provisions regarding potential violations and the factors the commission must consider for each potential violation. The bill also provides a one-time allocation for programming costs to update the campaign finance report electronic filing system to incorporate submissions by ballot question committees.
