Summary

The bill amends the Maine Clean Election Act to let candidates use public campaign money for paid caregiving services for a dependent family member, but only when the need exists because of the campaign. It applies to the candidate, their spouse or domestic partner, and limits the use to expenses directly connected to campaign work. This expands what counts as a campaign‑related expense under the law.
