Bill > H0116

This bill proposes to modify campaign contribution limits specifically for State Representatives and State Senators in Vermont, introducing new restrictions on the total amount of campaign contributions they can receive in an election cycle. For State Representatives, the bill limits contributions to $1,000 from a single source, $1,000 from a political committee, and $1,000 from a political party, with a total cap of $29,000 from all sources in an election cycle. Similarly, for State Senators, the bill sets limits of $1,500 from a single source, $1,500 from a political committee, and $1,500 from a political party, also with a total cap of $29,000 from all sources in an election cycle. The bill also modifies previous language about candidate self-contributions, now explicitly stating that these new contribution limits apply to a candidate's own contributions to their campaign for State Representative or State Senator. The changes do not affect contribution limits for other state offices like Governor or Attorney General. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and aims to create more uniform and controlled campaign financing for state legislative races.
