HB24-1283 - Amended, referred to House Appropriations
02:21:08 PM  
Representative Marvin
and Representative Willford, co-prime bill sponsors, presented House Bill
24-1283, concerning a requirement that the Secretary of State (SOS) review
a campaign finance complaint that arises out of a municipal campaign finance
matter under certain circumstances. Under current law, all municipal campaign
finance violation complaints must be filed with the clerk of the affected
municipality. The bill requires a clerk to refer a complaint to the SOS's
office if the municipality does not have a campaign finance complaint ordinance
and hearing process, or if the clerk determines that the clerk's review
of the complaint would create a conflict of interest for the clerk or the
clerk's staff. A clerk must do an administrative check to see if the complaint
was filed correctly before referring it to the SOS’s office.
