Bill > HB5367

This bill establishes a new campaign contribution limit for candidates for statewide offices and the legislature in Texas. Specifically, it prohibits individuals from knowingly making or authorizing campaign contributions that exceed $999,999 to a candidate, or to a specific-purpose political committee supporting that candidate or opposing their opponent, for a single election cycle. The bill will apply only to campaign contributions made on or after its effective date, and contributions made before that date will not be aggregated with future contributions. The legislation can take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both chambers of the Texas legislature; otherwise, it will automatically become effective on September 1, 2025. This bill represents an attempt to regulate the amount of money that can be donated to political campaigns, potentially aiming to reduce the influence of large financial contributions in state-level elections.
