This bill adjusts the timing for campaign finance reporting and the distribution of funds from the Fair Campaign Financing Fund, which is a pool of money used to support campaigns. Specifically, it changes the earliest date the State Board of Elections can begin distributing money from this fund from January 1st of an election year to July 1st of the year *before* the election. The bill also modifies reporting deadlines for campaign finance entities, including changing the filing date for continuing political committees from the third Wednesday in January to the fourth Wednesday in January, and adjusts the reporting periods for certain campaign finance reports. These changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
