Title

AN ACT CONCERNING REVISION OF THE FAIR ELECTION FUND for the purpose of revising language of the Fair Election Fund in order to provide greater clarity.

 

Backgrounds

The original legislation CB-99-2018 lacked clarity and consistency between the Definitions section and the rest of the legislation. Specificity as to what kind of funds a Citizen Funded Campaign Account can accept is also clarified in the new legislation. This new legislation also creates procedures governing an Applicant Candidate's use of funds in a Campaign Finance Entity from the previous election cycle.
