Relating to the reporting
requirements for a person who makes direct campaign expenditures.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 3396 would amend Chapter 254 (Political Reporting) of the
Election Code. This legislation would increase the direct campaign expenditures
limit of $100 to $1,000.
The current low threshold of $100 for independent campaign expenditures seems burdensome, however it is unclear that the increase to $1000 for the reporting requirement to be triggered is necessarily the right amount either. Without further evidence supporting that specific figure we are neutral on this specific legislation but supportive of the concept generally.
