Campaign finance reports; require those filed by all candidates to be available online.
HB 399 requires all campaign finance reports filed by candidates for state, county, municipal, or ballot measure offices - and by political committees making reportable contributions - to be posted online by Mississippi's Secretary of State. This applies to every candidate and committee covered under existing campaign finance laws, making contributions and expenditures publicly accessible via the Secretary of State's website. The bill mandates that these reports be available for public inspection within 48 hours of filing, with records retained for five years. It takes effect January 1, 2026, and does not change contribution limits or other financial rules.
