Bill > HB2984

This bill modifies campaign finance provisions by updating definitions related to campaign finance, including clarifying what constitutes a "candidate," "contribution," and "expenditure," and specifically defining "in-kind contribution" or "in-kind expenditure" to include actions by corporations regulated under chapter 355 and foreign nonprofit corporations. It also introduces new requirements for individuals and certain corporations making independent expenditures, mandating that any person, including regulated corporations, who spends $500 or more to support or oppose candidates or ballot measures, other than through direct contributions to a candidate or committee, must file a report detailing these expenditures within specific timeframes, with a faster reporting deadline for expenditures made close to an election. Furthermore, a new section is added to explicitly state that corporations regulated under chapter 355 making in-kind contributions or expenditures are subject to constitutional limits and must report these expenditures as required by section 130.047.
