From the 2015 legislative session:
Substitute for Raised S.B. No. 1126 AAC Revisions to Campaign Finance Laws:
2015's campaign finance bill had several important provisions. Dark money coming in to support or oppose Connecticut candidates would have been subject to disclosure. The bill would have closed loopholes and required outside groups to reveal all funding source for campaign-related expenditures, whether direct or through intermediaries (a current masking strategy).
Specifically it required disclosure not only of the top five donors to any entity making independent expenditures, but also the top five donors to those organizations included in the top five original donors.
Other provisions:
- the bill would have capped the amount of organizational expenditures a state central party can spend on a candidate at $250,000, which had been made unlimited in 2013
- clarified the use of the word "candidate" to include incumbents and individuals who eventually run for office, meaning that illegal coordination may occur even before the individual is registered as a candidate (for example someone with an exploratory committee would be considered a candidate)
- would have increased PAC registration rules to include the name of an individual establishing a PAC as well as anyone acting on his or her behalf
- increased the maximum penalty for failing to file campaign expenditure reports
