HB 422 Campaign contribution limits to candidates for the General Assembly.
Introduced by: Glenn R. Croshaw | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Limits on campaign contributions to statewide and General Assembly candidates; penalties. Imposes limit of $5,000 per election per statewide candidate and $1,000 per election per General Assembly candidate on contributions by any individual, labor organization or other like entity; and imposes a limit of $10,000 per election per statewide candidate and $2,500 per election per General Assembly candidate on contributions by any political action committee or corporation. Each primary, nominating method, special, and general election constitutes a separate election. Independent candidates are treated like party candidates and may accept contributions up to the applicable limit before the primary date and, again, up to the limit after the primary. The limits do not apply to contributions by the candidate or his family to his campaign or to contributions by political party committees or caucus groups. Candidates who accept excess amounts are subject to a civil penalty equal to the excess.
