Explanation
This bill defines "consultant" and "subvendor" for campaign finance
purposes and establishes their registration, reporting, and record-
keeping requirements. This is not anticipated to have a fiscal impact to
the state or municipalities.
The bill also adds provisions for two additional instances of illegal
campaign finance practices and results in potential revenue gain from
fines. There have been no fines collected for the current violation in the
past 5 years.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to violations.
