This bill amends the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act by redefining the term "primary purpose" in R.S. 18:1483(26). The new definition specifies that "primary purpose" refers to the purpose of making contributions or expenditures that constitute more than fifty percent of an entity's or group's spending during a calendar year, replacing the previous language that referred to "the preponderance" of spending.

The changes also remove references to "the association" and "political party," thereby broadening the scope of the definition to apply to any entity or group. This amendment aims to clarify the criteria for determining the primary purpose of financial activities related to campaign finance, ensuring a more precise understanding of what constitutes significant spending in this context.
