The bill, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5545, proposes a technical amendment to the existing campaign contribution limit statute. Specifically, it seeks to modify subsection (d) of section 9-611 of the general statutes. The current language that restricts contributions to candidates or committees, stating that no individual shall contribute in excess of one hundred dollars except by personal check or credit card of "that" individual, will be revised to replace "that" with "such."
This change is intended to clarify the language of the law without altering its substantive meaning. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and aims to ensure that the statute regarding campaign contributions remains clear and precise.
