Legislature receives $1,000 for a candidate for State Senator and |
$3,000 for a candidate for State Representative. A Maine Clean |
Election Act candidate who receives funds to campaign for a |
leadership position may not accept or expend any other funds for |
that election. This bill prohibits a Maine Clean Election Act |
candidate for State Senator or State Representative from serving as |
an officer or having control over a political action committee that |
contributes to a campaign in the State. This bill also requires |
candidates for leadership positions to register with the Commission |
on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices within 3 days of |
becoming a candidate for the leadership position and to submit |
reports to the commission as required by rules adopted by the |
commission. |
