Bill > SB229

This bill modifies Alaska's campaign finance laws to allow candidates and groups to use campaign contributions to pay civil penalties assessed against them under the law, unless a court finds they intentionally caused the violation, and also clarifies that candidates can use remaining campaign funds to pay for victory or thank-you events, post-election fundraising costs, and other specified distributions. The bill also introduces a provision allowing individuals to file incomplete campaign reports if they attest they lack the full information and promise to submit it later, with penalties applying if the missing information isn't provided within a set timeframe, and it requires the Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC) to list both those who haven't filed reports and those who filed incomplete reports, distinguishing between the two.
