2005 Regular Session

House Bill 6670

AN ACT CONCERNING COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM FOR STATE-WIDE CONSTITUTIONAL AND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OFFICES.

Did not become law. It stopped in the Senate on June 8, 2005. The 2005 session has ended.

What it does

The synopsis the General Assembly published with the bill.

To provide for comprehensive reform of the existing campaign finance laws to reduce undue influence of lobbyists and state contractors in the financing of state and General Assembly campaigns, and to make elections for such offices more competitive. This bill cures existing voids in contribution limits for political committees and ensures that these limits may not be circumvented by establishment of multiple political committees by the same individual. The bill also makes the limits on contributions to business and labor union political committees similar, and provides greater transparency of the sources of campaign contributions.
