Kansas Legislature Adjourns Sine Die

The Legislature adjourned sine die on April 11. Lawmakers passed various bills related to campaign finance, including House Bill 2054, which increases the state’s contribution limits. House Bill 2106 prohibits contributions or expenditures from foreign nationals regarding campaigns to amend the Kansas Constitution. The bill also mandates constitutional amendment campaigns disclose contributions over $50 and certify they and their donors have not accepted significant foreign funds. House Bill 2206 renames the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission to the Kansas Public Disclosure Commission and creates a new definition for cooperation or consent, in relation to express advocacy expenditures. The legislation also raises the limit from $10 to $50 in the amount of a political contribution an individual may accept without knowing the identity of the donor. House Bill 2054 is effective April 10, with House Bills 2106 and 2206 becoming effective July 1.
