Provide a contribution limit for candidate and ballot question committees under the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act
Nebraska's LB 791 establishes a $3,500 annual limit on individual contributions to candidate or ballot question committees during an election period (calendar year). It requires committees to refund any contributions exceeding this amount within 10 days and report the details. Starting in 2029, the limit will automatically adjust every two years based on inflation using the Consumer Price Index, rounded to the nearest $100. The bill applies to all individual donors but excludes a candidate's own personal funds contributed to their committee.
