Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As introduced, requires the registry of election finance to provide a nonexclusive list of the various categories of contributions that constitute in-kind contributions requiring disclosure to each member of the general assembly at the beginning of each yearly session and each candidate for state office within one week of the candidate certifying a treasurer with the registry. - Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 10.

HB 1742 requires Tennessee's election finance registry to provide a clear, nonexclusive list of examples for non-monetary campaign contributions (such as goods or services) that must be disclosed. This list must be distributed to all state legislators at the start of each legislative session and to candidates within one week of certifying a treasurer with the registry. The registry must create and update this list through formal rule-making procedures under state administrative law. The bill directly affects state lawmakers and candidates for state office by clarifying which non-cash contributions require public disclosure under campaign finance rules.
