Bill > HB5554

This bill modifies the rules for how political parties can fund their headquarters, specifically by increasing the annual limit on contributions a party headquarters committee can accept from any single person from $10,000 to $50,000. A "contribution" in this context refers to money or tangible items given to fund the rental, purchase, construction, or financing of a party headquarters, including its utilities, maintenance, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. A "party headquarters" is defined as the physical office of a state executive committee of a political party, and a "party headquarters committee" is any group that solicits or receives these specific types of contributions. The bill also clarifies that these contributions cannot be used for political purposes, satellite offices, or other facilities, and sets an overall limit of $1 million for funding a state or county executive committee's headquarters. Additionally, party headquarters committees must file detailed financial statements with the Secretary of State within 90 days of any contribution or expenditure exceeding $250, and these statements will be retained as public records.
