The 2022 regular session of the Kentucky General Assembly adjourned sine die on April 14.
A campaign finance and an ethics bill passed with a veto override.
House Bill 740 reduces transparency in campaign finance by removing the requirement that candidates report the name and employer of the spouse of the donor for donations over $100 and permitting candidates for legislative office to file annual instead of quarterly campaign finance reports in years they are not running for reelection.
The bill also removes references to paper filing and defines form as an online web page or an electronic document.
House Bill 334 reorganizes the Executive Branch Ethics Commission and requires it to make a finding for each complaint filed, as to whether they are grounded in fact, warranted by law, and filed in good faith.
Both bills are effective July 13.
