AN ACT CONCERNING ONLINE POLITICAL DONATION PLATFORMS AND LIMITING AUTOMATICALLY RECURRING CONTRIBUTIONS.

Summary

SB 490 changes state campaign‑finance law by redefining what counts as a contribution. It removes loans from banks, internal communications, volunteer services, low‑value food, drink, and in‑kind gifts from the definition, and bars lobbyists, their families, and state contractors from buying advertising at party or political committee fundraisers. The changes aim to clarify reporting requirements and prevent certain entities from influencing elections through paid ads.
