Session: 2023-2024
ACLU-PA Position: Supports
Currently, PA House and Senate candidates are only required to file campaign expense reports on the second Friday before an election.
HB 1220 (PN 2940) would amend the PA Election Code to require that candidates for the General Assembly (and any political committee attempting to influence the election of a candidate for the General Assembly) file an additional pre-election campaign expense report on the sixth Tuesday prior to a primary election. The bill would also require reports to include an itemized list and amounts of purchases for any expenditures submitted for reimbursement.
Requiring this additional reporting requirement would ensure earlier disclosure and greater transparency regarding contributions made to candidates for the General Assembly.
