House Bill No. by Representative Jackson proposes an amendment to the existing campaign finance law in Louisiana, specifically R.S. 18:1505.2. The bill changes the framework for campaign contribution limits, establishing that these limits will now apply per calendar year instead of per election. This adjustment aims to simplify the contribution process and provide a clearer understanding of the limits for candidates and contributors alike.

The bill includes several specific amendments, including the insertion of language that clarifies the new annual contribution limits for both individual candidates and political committees. For instance, the contribution limit for unsuccessful major office candidates who do not participate in the general election is set at ten thousand dollars per calendar year. Additionally, political committees with over 250 members must adhere to the same annual contribution limits. The proposed changes are intended to enhance transparency and consistency in campaign financing within the state.
