TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING REPORTS OF CONTRIBUTIONS FOR A CANDIDATE FOR STATE OR DISTRICT OFFICE; TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE FOR FINAL REPORTS; AND TO AMEND PORTIONS OF LAW RESULTING FROM INITIATED ACT 1 OF 1990.
Arkansas HB 1449 extends the deadline for candidates for state or district office to file their final campaign finance reports. The bill changes the requirement from submitting final reports within 20 days after an election month to 30 days after the month of the election. This adjustment applies to reports covering contributions and expenditures for primary, runoff, general, and special elections. The change directly affects candidates running for state or district offices by providing additional time to comply with campaign finance disclosure rules.
