HB 1447 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to campaign contribution limits for certain offices.

HB 1447 sets new limits on campaign donations for candidates running for statewide offices (like governor or statewide legislative seats) and for candidates in the Texas legislature. It prohibits contributions exceeding 50 times the federal campaign contribution limit for federal elections. The bill applies only to donations made on or after September 1, 2025, and does not affect donations made before that date. This change directly affects political campaigns for statewide elected positions by capping individual donation amounts.
