AI Summary

This bill expands the scope of the Kansas campaign finance act to include candidates for board membership of certain school districts and community colleges. Specifically, the bill defines "local office" to include members of the governing body of cities of the first class, any elected office of a unified school district with 35,000 or more pupils, any elected office of a unified school district or community college whose administrative office is located in a county with a population of not less than 115,000, any elected office of a county, and any elected office of the board of public utilities. This change means that candidates for these local offices would be subject to the campaign finance disclosure and reporting requirements of the act.
