Bill > HB772

This bill modifies Hawaii's campaign finance law by removing the previous provision that allowed candidates to purchase up to two tickets for events held by another candidate or committee. The bill specifically amends Section 11-381 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to eliminate this ticket-purchasing allowance and renumber the subsequent permitted uses of campaign funds. The existing law outlines various ways campaign funds can be used, such as supporting a candidate's own campaign, purchasing goods and services with appropriate reimbursement, making donations to community and educational organizations, awarding scholarships, contributing to the candidate's political party, and paying for ordinary expenses related to holding political office. The bill maintains these other provisions while specifically removing the ability to use campaign funds to buy event tickets. The changes will take effect on July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder date typically used when the exact implementation date is not yet determined.
