Bill > HB1765

This bill amends the Illinois Election Code by removing a provision that previously required the State Board of Elections to automatically adjust campaign contribution limits for inflation every two years. Specifically, the bill eliminates language in Section 9-8.5(g) that mandated the State Board of Elections to calculate and publish updated contribution limits on January 1st of each odd-numbered year, using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The existing law set specific contribution limits for different types of political committees, such as candidate political committees, political party committees, and political action committees, which will now remain fixed at their current amounts without automatic periodic adjustments. By removing the inflation adjustment mechanism, the bill effectively freezes current contribution limits, potentially impacting the ability of political committees to raise funds in line with economic changes over time.
