AN ACT CONCERNING CERTAIN REVISIONS TO AGGREGATE AND INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION AMOUNTS UNDER THE CITIZENS' ELECTION PROGRAM.

This bill updates the required fundraising thresholds for candidates to qualify for public matching funds under Connecticut's Citizens' Election Program. It directly affects candidates running for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Comptroller, State Treasurer, Secretary of the State, and state Senate seats by changing the minimum amounts of private donations they must raise. The key changes include increasing the total contribution thresholds for each office, adjusting the maximum amount an individual can contribute to a candidate committee, and modifying how contribution amounts are calculated and rounded for elections held in 2022 or later. These revisions take effect on December 1, 2026, and apply to contributions received on or after that date.
