Bill > HB1719

This bill makes the provisions of the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act applicable to candidates for town offices in towns with a population of less than 25,000 if the candidate accepts contributions or makes expenditures in excess of $25,000 within the candidate's election cycle. Previously, the Act did not apply to town elections in these smaller towns unless the town's governing body had an ordinance providing otherwise. The bill also adds a new requirement for such town office candidates to file a statement of organization if they exceed the $25,000 contribution or expenditure threshold, even if the town has not adopted the Act's provisions by ordinance.
