SB 638 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in primary and election expenses, further providing for place of filing.

SB 638 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to require counties to forward contribution details from election expense reports to the Secretary of the Commonwealth. This change ensures that information about campaign contributions reported at the county level is automatically posted on the state's publicly accessible website. The bill directly affects candidates and political committees filing election expense reports, as they must now provide contribution details to counties, which then send the data to the state for public posting. This is a procedural transparency measure with no substantive change to election rules.
