Requires candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Senate, and General Assembly to disclose federal income tax returns.
This bill requires candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Senate, and General Assembly to submit copies of their federal income tax returns for the five most recent taxable years to the Election Law Enforcement Commission. Candidates must also provide written consent for public disclosure and file these returns at the same time as their existing financial disclosure statement. The commission must post the returns online within seven days (after redacting privileged or unlawful information), making them publicly accessible. This directly affects all candidates running for these state offices by adding tax return transparency to their disclosure requirements.
