Summary

The bill lets a candidate’s campaign committee give back any contribution it received, for any reason, and treats the refund as an expenditure that must be reported. It also permits political parties, legislative campaign funds, PACs, and other political entities to refund contributions only when the law specifically allows it. The change is intended to increase donor flexibility and transparency in campaign finance.
