requiring candidates to attest they have not spent more than $1,000 in an election.

Maddy summaryHB 389 requires candidates for governor, state legislature, or county offices to confirm whether their election spending or campaign contributions stayed under $1,000 during an election cycle. Candidates with expenses under $1,000 must simply check a box on their campaign finance report to attest to this. Those exceeding $1,000 must file detailed financial reports like other candidates. The bill aims to simplify reporting for small-scale campaigns while ensuring transparency for higher-spending candidates.

Schools must also develop outreach plans to encourage free/reduced-price meal applications and accept voluntary donations to reduce meal debt.
