OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
This bill, which makes various changes to laws affecting campaign
finance and elections, is not anticipated to result in a fiscal impact to the
state or municipalities.
Senate "A" alters the original bill by removing provisions that made
various changes to campaign finance laws and increased the maximum
penalties the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) could
impose for failing to file certain independent expenditure reports. This
eliminates a potential revenue gain.
The Out Years
State Impact: None
