Clarifies and strengthens disclosure requirements for certain complimentary tickets received by candidates, officeholders, political party officials, political committees and continuing political committees.
This bill clarifies and strengthens disclosure requirements for complimentary tickets received by political candidates, officeholders, political party officials, and committee members. It requires reporting when tickets to political fundraisers or events (with face value or purchase price exceeding $200) are given free to these individuals, treating them as in-kind contributions. If tickets are transferred between recipients and used, both the giver and user must report them to the Election Law Enforcement Commission. However, candidates for Governor or Legislature don't need to report tickets over $250, though they must report tickets over $200 for personal use. The bill aims to increase transparency around free event access that could function as political contributions.
