AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina's campaign finance law by increasing the contribution limits for political candidates. Specifically, the legislation raises the maximum amount individuals can contribute to a candidate from $1,000 to $3,500 per election cycle. The new limits apply to both statewide and non-statewide candidates, with slightly different provisions for candidates elected jointly. The bill maintains other existing campaign finance restrictions, such as prohibiting cash contributions over $25 without proper documentation, preventing contributions from lobbyists who are actively lobbying for the office in question, and maintaining restrictions on simultaneous contributions to two elective offices. The purpose of this bill appears to be updating campaign finance regulations to allow for higher monetary contributions while maintaining transparency and ethical standards in political fundraising. The new contribution limits will take effect upon approval by the Governor of South Carolina.
