Bill > HF1943

This bill provides appropriations for elections and campaign finance for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, specifically allocating funds to two key state agencies. The Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board will receive $1,819,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $1,846,000 in fiscal year 2027, with a base appropriation of $1,846,000 for fiscal year 2028 and subsequent years. The Secretary of State will receive a $200,000 appropriation in fiscal year 2026, which is specifically designated for transfer to the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) account. This transfer is intended to meet the state match requirement under the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024. The bill clarifies that "the first year" refers to fiscal year 2026, "the second year" to fiscal year 2027, and "the biennium" encompasses both fiscal years. The appropriations will come from the general fund and are meant to support election-related administrative and compliance activities.
