S 1989 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Extends statute of limitations for campaign finance violations.

This bill extends the time limit for enforcing campaign finance violations from two to four years. Specifically, the Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC) will now have four years after an election date to pursue enforcement actions, instead of two years from when the violation occurred. It directly affects campaign finance violators and ELEC, applying to all violations occurring after the bill's effective date. The change retroactively covers violations after the effective date of the prior law (P.L.2023, c.30). This adjustment aligns with a recommendation from ELEC's 2023 annual report.
