Campaign Finance - Security Expenditures - Authorization

HB 1454 allows campaign finance entities (like candidate committees) to use campaign funds for security expenses when a verified threat arises from a candidate's or official's role or associations. It requires campaigns to document threats, track security spending, and return purchased items or reimburse the campaign within one year after a threat ends. The bill sets a $10,000 lifetime spending limit per protected individual (including candidates, officials, family members, and staff) and prohibits using funds for firearms or security payments to certain family members. Campaigns must include threat details in financial reports, and security expenses must relate to documented threats verified by law enforcement.
