Bill Summary
Amend KRS 121.015 to define "form"; amend KRS 121.160 to remove the requirement of a candidate or slate of candidates designating a treasurer at the office with which they file for candidacy, and instead require the office for which the candidate files to forward a copy to the Registry of Election Finance; amend KRS 121.180 to require a candidate exempt from filing a campaign finance report to file a 30 day post-election report of receipts and disbursements; require a candidate who is exempt from filing for the primary who advances to the regular election to refile for the filing exemption; require any candidate who is no longer eligible for the exemption to immediately file for a revocation of the exemption; and permit candidates, slate of candidates, and candidate-authorized campaign committee to file annual campaign finance reports with requirements prescribed; remove references to paper filing; and make technical corrections.
AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of Kentucky's campaign finance law to define "form," remove the requirement for candidates to designate a treasurer at the time of filing, require certain post-election reporting, permit annual campaign finance reporting, and make other technical changes to modernize and increase transparency in the state's campaign finance reporting requirements. It also specifies that violations of the prohibition on members of the General Assembly accepting campaign contributions from legislative agents or their employers during regular sessions are considered ethical misconduct. The bill declares an emergency and takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
