Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill proposes to require a participating candidate who has previously run for office to have received at least 15% of the vote in the candidate's most recent campaign, and to require a participating candidate to raise the entire amount of seed money allowed in order to be certified as a participating candidate.  It is expected that these proposals will result in Other Special Revenue Funds cost savings to the Maine Clean Election Fund.  However, the amount of these savings cannot be determined at this time.
