This bill proposes to amend current law regarding corrupt practices related to campaign contributions. Specifically, it removes the requirement that more evidence than a campaign contribution is needed to demonstrate that a vote, appointment, or nomination constitutes a corrupt practice. The bill includes the repeal of RSA 640:1, which previously outlined these requirements, thereby simplifying the legal standard for proving corruption in these contexts.

The fiscal impact of this bill is indeterminable, as it may affect the judicial and correctional systems, potentially influencing costs associated with prosecution, incarceration, probation, and parole. However, the estimated revenue and expenditures for the state and local governments are projected to be $0, indicating that there are no expected financial gains or losses directly attributable to the bill. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
