Fiscal Detail and Notes
Increasing the reporting threshold for independent expenditures, which can trigger the release of matching funds to candidates that are qualified to receive funds from the Maine Clean Elections Fund, may have the effect of lowering the disbursement of matching funds from the fund.  The amount will depend on the actual independent expenditures of future candidates and can not be determined at this time.
