The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 953, seeks to amend the definition of "state contractor" within campaign finance laws by specifically excluding tribal governments. This change is intended to clarify the status of tribal governments in relation to state contracting and campaign finance regulations.
The bill proposes to modify subdivision (1) of subsection (f) of section 9-612 of the general statutes by inserting language that explicitly states that tribal governments are not considered "state contractors." This amendment aims to ensure that tribal governments are not subject to the same campaign finance laws that apply to state contractors, thereby redefining their legal standing in this context.
