Bill > SB00506

This bill proposes to amend title 9 of the general statutes to prohibit state and municipal governments from receiving or using private funds for elections-related expenses. Specifically, the legislation would ban any government entity from accepting gifts, donations, or other funding from private sources such as individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, organizations, or other third parties if those funds would be used to pay for election-related costs. The purpose of the bill is to prevent outside private entities from financially supporting election administration, potentially to maintain the independence and neutrality of the electoral process by eliminating potential external influence on how elections are conducted or managed.
