URGING THE CAMPAIGN SPENDING COMMISSION TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS NECESSARY AND WITHIN ITS POWER TO ENSURE CANDIDATE COMMITTEES' FULL COMPLIANCE WITH STATE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS.

This bill urges the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission to take additional steps to ensure candidate committees fully comply with state campaign finance laws. The resolution specifically requests the commission to conduct automatic audits of committees spending over $500,000, subsidize independent audit costs, and create clear rules defining what constitutes a defective campaign report. It also asks the commission to offer more frequent training sessions outside normal business hours to accommodate volunteer campaign workers. The bill does not create new laws or impose new requirements but instead encourages the commission to use its existing authority to improve compliance through audits, clearer guidelines, and better training opportunities.
