Summary

The bill would mandate that county circuit court clerks upload every campaign finance report, notice, or related filing for local candidates to a county website in PDF within seven days of filing. It also gives candidates and other covered persons the right to request that their home address be kept confidential and requires local governments to set up procedures to honor those requests. The aim is to increase transparency while protecting personal safety.
