Bill > HB1073

This bill amends Tennessee election law by adding a new provision to clarify what constitutes campaign activity related to canvassing. Specifically, the bill defines certain door-to-door campaign activities as an independent expenditure, including the development, production, and use of canvassing literature and scripts. The activities covered include paying canvassers to distribute literature, read scripts to potential voters, record responses to scripted questions, and compile and store data collected during door-knocking campaigns. These activities can be done either independently or in coordination with a candidate, candidate's political campaign committee, or agent. The new provision is being added to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 2-10-102(4), which appears to relate to campaign finance and expenditure definitions. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
