Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As introduced, authorizes the use of campaign funds for the payment of fines, fees, and penalties assessed for the violation of campaign finance or ethics laws. - Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 10.

HB 929 would amend Tennessee's campaign finance law to allow candidates and political committees to use campaign funds to pay fines, fees, or penalties resulting from violations of campaign finance or ethics rules. The bill explicitly permits this use by adding a new provision to the law and removing a prior restriction that prohibited it. This change directly affects political campaigns in Tennessee by expanding allowable campaign expenses to cover enforcement-related costs. The amendment would take effect upon enactment, altering how campaign finances are managed for compliance with state regulations.
