Bill > HB1290

This bill amends Indiana election law to require the election division to gather information about potentially upgrading its campaign finance computer system by June 30, 2027. Specifically, the bill directs the election division to collect details about a potential new computer system that would serve two primary purposes: first, to continue meeting the existing requirements for tracking campaign finance reports, and second, to enable electronic filing of reports for candidates and committees at both county election boards and boards of elections and registration. The proposed upgrade would build upon the current system, which already allows for electronic submission, storage, and public disclosure of campaign finance reports for state and legislative office candidates. The provision for gathering upgrade information is set to expire on January 1, 2027, suggesting the state wants to thoroughly research and plan for a potential system improvement while maintaining a clear timeline. The bill maintains existing provisions about standardized software, electronic filing requirements, and public accessibility of campaign finance information.
