Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed into law legislation creating campaign finance limits for school board races for the first time.
House Bill 1060 will cap individual donations at $2,500 and small donor committees at $25,000 per school board candidate.
The legislation, however, won’t affect spending by independent committees.
The new contribution limits would be subject to existing laws governing the disclosure of campaign contribution and would require filings with the secretary of state.
The bill goes into effect July 1, 2022.
