An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in primary and election expenses, further providing for reporting by candidate and political committees and other persons and for late contributions and independent expenditures.
HB 374 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to strengthen reporting requirements for campaign finance. It requires any individual or organization (including 501(c) groups) making independent expenditures over $100 in a year to report the candidate or ballot question they support, using the same forms as political committees. Additionally, it mandates that candidates, political committees, or organizations making contributions or independent expenditures over $500 after the final pre-election report must file a report within 24 hours via fax, mail, or in-person appearance. This bill directly affects candidates, political committees, and entities making significant campaign expenditures. The changes aim to increase transparency around late contributions and independent spending.
