AI Summary

This bill aims to tighten regulations on campaign finance by modifying existing election laws. Specifically, it proposes to limit the total amount of money that a town or ward committee, which is a local political committee, can contribute to a candidate's campaign fund or a non-elected political committee supporting that candidate to $3,000 per year. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision allowing individuals to make campaign contributions to elected or non-elected political committees representing a political party, but with a cap of $500 per year for contributions made to town or ward committees in a jurisdiction where the individual does not primarily reside.
