Bill > SB2889

This bill introduces new campaign contribution limits for candidates in Texas, specifically for statewide and legislative offices. Under the proposed law, individual contributors will be restricted from donating more than $5,000 to a candidate for statewide office or the legislature, or to a specific-purpose committee supporting or opposing that candidate during a single election. Political committees will have a slightly higher limit of $10,000 for the same purpose. Additionally, the bill reduces the contribution limit for statewide judicial candidates from $25,000 to $10,000 when receiving contributions from general-purpose committees. The changes will apply only to campaign contributions made on or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025, and will not retroactively impact contributions made before that date. By imposing these limits, the bill aims to regulate the amount of money that can be donated to political campaigns, potentially reducing the influence of large monetary contributions in electoral races.
