Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As introduced, prohibits out-of-state political campaign committees from making contributions to influence a state or local primary election for the Republican Party. - Amends TCA Title 2 and Title 3.

HB 868 would ban political committees based outside Tennessee from contributing to influence primary elections for a statewide political party in the state. The bill prohibits out-of-state committees from giving money or other contributions to candidates, other committees, or for any purpose intended to affect primary elections. It defines a primary election as one for the statewide political party (the party controlling both legislative chambers on July 1, 2025), and the law would take effect on that date. This measure targets out-of-state campaign financing without specifying a particular political party.
