SB114

Senate Bill 114 modifies Arkansas campaign finance reporting requirements for candidates. The bill adjusts the deadline for filing final campaign finance reports, changing it from thirty days after the month in which a candidate's name appeared on the ballot to the last day of that month. It also clarifies that a final report is mandatory regardless of whether contributions or expenditures exceeded $500. Furthermore, the bill specifies that candidates retaining funds who have no campaign activity before the end of the calendar year are not required to file a fourth-quarter report. Conversely, candidates who continue to raise or spend campaign funds for future elections or office-holder expenses must continue to file regular reports as required by law.
