Requiring the termination of any candidate campaign account for an elected official who chooses to not run for reelection or who is defeated in a subsequent election.
SB 40 requires elected officials in Kansas to close their campaign finance accounts within 90 days after the next election where they are not re-elected or choose not to run again. This applies to all state and local officeholders who do not seek re-election or lose their bid. The bill mandates that campaign treasurers handle any leftover funds according to existing state law and file a formal termination report. It does not change campaign contribution rules but ensures unused campaign funds are properly disbursed and reported.
