Bill > HB2054

This bill increases campaign contribution limits for various political offices in Kansas. Specifically, the bill raises the maximum amount an individual or political committee can contribute to a candidate during primary and general elections. For statewide offices like governor and lieutenant governor, the contribution limit increases from $2,000 to $4,000 per election. For state representatives, district judges, district attorneys, and local candidates in smaller jurisdictions (under 50,000 population), the limit rises from $500 to $1,000 per election. For state senators, state board of education members, and local candidates in jurisdictions with 50,000 or more people, the limit increases from $1,000 to $2,000 per election. The bill also updates contribution limits for party committees, allowing individuals to contribute up to $35,000 annually to certain party committees. Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding campaign finance, such as requiring separate accounting for primary and general election funds and prohibiting cash contributions over $200. These changes aim to provide more flexibility in campaign fundraising while maintaining some regulatory oversight.
