Current law requires a campaign finance report to list each candidate or officeholder who benefits from a direct campaign expenditure made during the reporting period by the person or political committee filing the report. House Bill 2629, the P.A.C. Transparency and Accountability Act, amends the Election Code to require instead that such a report list each candidate or officeholder for whom a direct campaign expenditure was made to support or oppose during the reporting period.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "While House Bill No. 2629 is important, it is simply not as important as education freedom. At this time, the legislature must concentrate on delivering education freedom to Texans. This bill can be reconsidered at a future special session only after education freedom is passed."
