Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As enacted, makes various changes to campaign finance laws and related laws. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 3 and Title 67.

SB 229 amends Tennessee's campaign finance laws to increase transparency and regulate campaign committees. It requires campaign committees to pay a $150 annual registration fee (candidates are exempt), raises violation fines from $100 to $250, and clarifies that campaign funds may cover litigation to support a candidate's election but not personal reputation. The bill also extends the period candidates can accept contributions after an election to cover campaign debts and exempts party-controlled committees from standard contribution limits. These changes directly affect campaign committees, candidates, and political parties by altering financial reporting, fees, and allowable spending.
