Abstract: Provides for revisions to the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act.
Present law (Campaign Finance Disclosure Act) provides, generally for public disclosure of the financing of election campaigns and to regulate certain campaign practices.
Proposed law provides that the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act is penal in nature and that, in the interest of respecting the constitutional rights of free speech and due process, that the regulation of campaign finance shall be interpreted narrowly, strictly, and any ambiguity in favor of any person accused of any violation of present law, and that no deference shall be afforded in present law by any agency enforcing present law, including the supervisory committee on campaign finance (supervisory committee).
