Bill Summary

Ban on gratuities for public officials. Provides that a person who knowingly or intentionally violates a specified provision by commingling the funds of a committee with the personal funds of an officer, a member, or an associate of the committee commits a Class A misdemeanor. Enhances the penalty to a Level 6 felony if a person commingles at least $50,000 of committee funds.

AI Summary

This bill amends Indiana Code (IC) 3-14-1-14.5, which deals with campaign finance violations, to establish penalties for commingling, or mixing, the funds of a committee with the personal funds of an individual associated with that committee. Specifically, it makes it a Class A misdemeanor, a less serious criminal offense, for someone to knowingly or intentionally mix committee funds with personal funds. Furthermore, if the amount of committee funds commingled reaches or exceeds $50,000, the offense is elevated to a Level 6 felony, a more serious criminal offense. This change aims to deter and punish improper handling of campaign or committee finances by public officials and those associated with them.
