Election Law - Campaign Finance Activities - Candidates for State Office

Summary

The bill forbids the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, state treasurer, legislators and candidates for those offices – and anyone acting for them – from receiving, soliciting, fundraising or using campaign contributions while the General Assembly is in regular session. Exceptions allow activities tied to a federal or local race, electronic contributions made before the session, and limited private funding for gubernatorial tickets under the Public Financing Act. Violations would trigger civil penalties that go to the Fair Campaign Financing Fund.
