Bill > S390

This bill amends campaign finance laws by introducing a new definition for "Calendar Year" as any year from January 1st to December 31st, and establishes a special election exemption for campaign contributions. This exemption applies when a special election, which is an election held outside of the regularly scheduled general elections to fill a vacancy, occurs in the same calendar year as a general election. Under this exemption, campaign contributions are not subject to the usual limits for each election cycle within that calendar year, meaning donors can contribute up to the defined limits for both the special election and the general election separately.
