SB 353 increases the percentage of Tennessee general assembly candidates and their campaign committees subject to audit by the Registry of Election Finance from 4% to 5%. The bill changes the law to require audits for a larger share of candidates, specifically amending election finance statutes in Titles 2, 3, and 8 of the Tennessee Code. This policy change directly affects all state legislative candidates and their committees by raising the likelihood of an audit for their campaign finances. The bill does not alter campaign contribution limits or other financial rules, only the audit selection rate.
