Modifies the definition of committee for campaign contribution requirements
HB 2301 modifies the definition of "committee" for campaign finance rules by excluding candidate committees and most continuing committees from the definition. However, it requires continuing committees to be treated as committees if they make certain expenditures (like those subject to Section 130.176) or contribute to committees that make such expenditures. This change directly affects groups raising or spending campaign funds, clarifying which entities must follow contribution limits and disclosure rules. The bill focuses on refining which organizations are subject to campaign finance regulations, without altering the underlying contribution limits or prohibitions.
