Relates to the use of campaign funds for any settlement fees, fines or penalties for sexual harassment civil or criminal actions

This bill prohibits candidates from using campaign funds to pay settlement fees, fines, or penalties related to sexual harassment civil or criminal actions. The change directly affects political candidates by restricting how their campaign money can be spent on legal costs associated with sexual harassment allegations. The legislation adds a new provision to the election law that specifically bars these payments while leaving other campaign expense categories unchanged. The bill will take effect 60 days after it becomes law.
