House Bill 2586 amends the Election Code to establish provisions relating to political contributions and political expenditures made to or by political committees. Among other provisions, the bill requires a campaign treasurer appointment by a general‑purpose committee or specific‑purpose committee for supporting or opposing a candidate to include an affidavit stating certain facts before the committee may use a political contribution from a corporation or a labor organization to make a direct campaign expenditure in connection with a campaign for an elective office. The bill authorizes a corporation or labor organization to make campaign contributions from its own property to a political committee that has filed such an affidavit.
