enabling candidates for state office to use campaign funds to pay for security measures.

The list of eligible security measures had a punctuation correction: the word 'and' was moved from after item III (security personnel) to after item IV (cybersecurity), which is the correct placement since item V (training) is the last item in the list. No items were added or removed.

The bill's status header changed from 'As Amended by the Senate' to 'Version Adopted by Both Bodies,' and a new date stamp (21May2026) was added reflecting final adoption by both chambers.

A new item (V) was added to the list of allowable security purchases, permitting candidates to use campaign funds for 'training in, or for the use of, any of the security measures purchased as part of this chapter.' This means if a candidate buys cybersecurity software or hires security personnel, they can also spend campaign money on training related to those purchases.

Removed the $3,000 cap on campaign funds that can be used for security measures. The bill now allows candidates and state officeholders to use any amount of campaign funds for security costs, subject to the existing requirements that the measures address ongoing threats tied to their official status and are bona fide, legitimate, and professional.
