Summary
Campaign finance; special reports of large pre-election
contributions. Redefines large contributions requiring special reports to
be more than $5,000 for statewide campaigns, more than $1,000 for General
Assembly campaigns, and more than $500 for other campaigns. Present law

and $500 in other campaigns. The bill also requires the special reports to be
