Kansas Considers Streamlining Campaign and Lobbying Reporting

A representative from the Office of Secretary of State testified at a recent meeting of the Legislature’s Special Committee on Campaign Contributions and Transparency. Among the items raised was a legislative proposal to file campaign finance and lobbyist disclosure reports online and directly with the Kansas Public Disclosure Commission instead of through the Office of Secretary of State. Another proposal would have lawmakers repeal a requirement for PACs to report information about sub-vendors in reports of expenditures made directly to vendors. If viewed favorably, these reforms may be taken up for consideration in next year’s legislative session.
