Summary

The bill requires the treasurer of any campaign finance entity to keep detailed records of security‑related expenditures and to disclose the threat that prompted the spending in campaign reports. It authorizes campaigns to spend money on things like security systems, personal guards, and related services, but limits purchases such as firearms and caps total lifetime security spending at $10,000 per candidate or elected official. The law also obligates individuals who receive security items to return them or reimburse the campaign at fair market value within specified time frames.
