Bill > HB2123

This bill amends existing Washington state law to strengthen regulations on foreign national participation in elections by requiring that any contribution or independent expenditure exceeding $6,000, adjusted for inflation, must be accompanied by a certification stating that the funds are not financed by a foreign national and that foreign nationals are not involved in decision-making regarding the contribution or expenditure. This applies to various entities including candidates, political committees, out-of-state committees, and sponsors of political advertising and electioneering communications, with specific reporting requirements and timelines established for different types of financial activities. The bill also introduces provisions for inflation adjustments to the $6,000 threshold, ensuring its value is maintained over time.
