Campaign finance law; revise various provisions related to.
HB 1101 would have revised Mississippi's campaign finance laws, directly affecting candidates, political committees, and contributors. Key provisions included requiring all campaign finance reports to be filed online starting January 1, 2027; banning anonymous contributions (mandating refunds or deposits into an election fund); and increasing penalties for violations. The bill also shifted enforcement authority from the Ethics Commission to the Secretary of State, repealed bans on corporate contributions, and required candidates to maintain zero cash balances when terminating campaigns. This bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
