Provide a limit on contributions made to a candidate committee under the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act
Nebraska's LB 1017 establishes a $3,500 annual limit on individual contributions to candidate committees during an election period (calendar year). It requires committees to refund any contributions exceeding this amount within 10 days and report the excess, but does not apply to a candidate's own personal funds. Starting in 2029, the limit will automatically adjust every two years based on the Consumer Price Index, rounded to the nearest $100. This bill directly affects individual donors and candidate committees by setting a concrete contribution cap with built-in inflation adjustments.
