The bill H. 4250 proposes an amendment to Section 8-13-1314 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which governs campaign contribution limits and restrictions. The primary change is to increase the contribution limit for certain candidates from one thousand dollars to three thousand five hundred dollars per election cycle. Specifically, this new limit applies to candidates for statewide office and candidates for other offices, with the same aggregate limit set for statewide candidates elected jointly.

In addition to the increase in contribution limits, the bill maintains existing restrictions on cash contributions and prohibits contributions from registered lobbyists who are lobbying the office for which the candidate is running. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
