SB 5576: Campaign practices

Making changes to the campaign practices law.

Summary

The prohibition on use of local government resources for political campaigns is strengthened by making knowing acquiescence by a superior a violation of the prohibition. A comment or response to an inquiry regarding a ballot proposition by an elected official is not a violation of this prohibition under certain circumstances.
