Bill > HB1020

This bill amends the Texas Election Code to reduce campaign contribution limits for certain elected offices. Specifically, the bill introduces a new provision that limits individual contributions to candidates for statewide office or the legislature to $5,000 per election, while political committees are capped at $10,000 per election. Additionally, the bill reduces the contribution limit for general-purpose committees supporting statewide judicial candidates from $25,000 to $10,000. These new contribution limits aim to regulate the amount of money that can be donated to political campaigns, potentially reducing the influence of large donors. The changes will apply only to campaign contributions made on or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025, and will not retroactively affect contributions made before that date. The bill is part of broader campaign finance reform efforts to increase transparency and limit the potential for undue political influence through campaign donations.
