Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2158 amends the Election Code to provide that for the purpose of campaign contribution limits and limits on reimbursement of personal funds, the general primary election and general election for state and county officers are considered a single election for an unopposed judicial candidate. The bill allows the unopposed candidate to raise up to 25 percent more than the contribution limits for a single election and restricts use of the extra money to officeholder expenditures.
