Campaign finance law; revise various provisions related to.
HB 1334 revises Mississippi's campaign finance laws to increase transparency and accountability. It requires candidates and political committees to file all reports online via the Secretary of State’s system starting January 1, 2027, bans anonymous contributions (requiring donors to be identified or funds returned), and mandates zero cash balances before terminating campaign accounts. The bill shifts enforcement authority from the Ethics Commission to the Secretary of State, increases penalties for violations, and repeals prohibitions on corporate contributions while imposing new limits on corporate donations. These changes directly affect candidates, political committees, donors, and the Secretary of State’s office, with the goal of making campaign finance data publicly accessible and reducing violations.
