Increasing the limits on certain campaign contributions under the campaign finance act, providing for automatic increases to such limits based on the consumer price index and eliminating such limits on contributions to party committees.

SB 177 increases specific campaign contribution limits for candidates (e.g., raising governor race limits from $2,000 to $4,000 per primary/general election) and automatically adjusts these limits annually using the Midwest region's Consumer Price Index. It eliminates all contribution limits for party committees, meaning donors can give unlimited amounts to state party committees. The adjusted limits take effect every two years after CPI updates are published. This directly affects candidates, donors, and party committees in Kansas state elections.
